Carlos Tevez insists that he is still yet to decide whether or not he wishes to remain at Manchester City.

The Argentine moved to Eastlands in 2009, and has since been a stand-out player in the club’s rise to a top four status in the Premier League.

The former West Ham United man also won the FA Cup with City on Saturday, ending a silverware drought that lasted 35 years.

But for a significant part of the season, the 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from Eastlands – particularly after having handed in a transfer request earlier in the campaign.

There had also been reports of the forward having a difficult working relationship with manager Roberto Mancini, but the City skipper insisted otherwise.

“I need to rest, gather my thoughts and get together with my family. Only then will I start thinking about my future,” Tevez said, according to the Daily Mail.

“I want to make it clear that I don’t have any problem with Roberto Mancini, despite what people have written and said to the contrary.

“But I need to sit down with my family, because we need to make this decision together. I repeat, there is no problem with Mancini. It is a family thing. But really, I haven’t made a decision yet.”

City boss Mancini, however, believes that the Argentina international will choose to honour his contract by remaining at Eastlands.

“Tevez has a five-year contract staying with us,” he told Sky Sports News.

“He has a five-year contract with us, he doesn’t want to leave.”
