At the end of last season, the idea that Carlos Tevez's future at Manchester United would be in doubt within six months' time would have seemed far-fetched, at best.However, that is exactly the situation in which the Argentine forward currently finds himself, as he has plummeted down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to sign Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur has essentially seen Tevez relegated to the role of back-up for Wayne Rooney, whose first-team status seems assured regardless of form.
And Ossie Ardiles, the former Spurs superstar, believes it will only be a matter of time before 'Carlitos' gives up on the Red Devils and shoves off to Real Madrid, his long-time suitors.
"Until that day he [Tevez] has been happy in Manchester," the World Cup winner told ESPN. "But for sure if he doesn’t play, moving to Madrid would delight him.
"Tevez has been playing less since Berbatov arrived. If he’s not played in the starting line-up, then he will have to think twice about his future.
"Because every time he was given the chance to ply his trade, Carlitos played well and scored goals."
Tevez has netted ten times this season, although only three of those have come in the Premier League.
