Carlos Tevez called Man City one of the 3 biggest clubs in the world when talking about Man Utd
Former Manchester United and Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has given his opinion on the three biggest football clubs in the world, sparking a huge controversy among fans.
The Argentinian is discussing the development of youngster and United compatriot Alejandro Garnacho, who has grown massively under the management of Erik ten Hag.
Joining United from Atletico Madrid's youth system in October 2020, the 18-year-old has thrived this term with Ten Hags offering the teenager plenty of opportunities.
With five goals and six assists in 32 appearances in all competitions this season, the Argentinian has enjoyed a successful breakout season at Old Trafford.

Speaking to TyCSports, Tevez said:
"Garnacho is good. To play for Manchester United you have to be good.
