Alex: Tevez not worth 25 million

KUALA LUMPUR: Sir Alex Ferguson has hit back at Carlos Tevez, saying the Argentinian striker wasn't worth the 25 million pounds that rivals Manchester City paid for him, reports said Tuesday.

The 25-year-old international signed a five-year contract with City after his two-year deal at United ran out at the end of last season.

Tevez, a fan favorite at Old Trafford, has claimed Ferguson never got in touch to try to persuade him to stay.
