Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez says his game has improved since moving to Old Trafford.

He said: “I’m playing in the part of the pitch where I want to play. But I also have to get used to some of the things I’m asked to do, like starting from a little deeper and closing down the holding midfielder of the other team when we lose the ball to stop him playing. But the manager wants me to arrive in the area and score goals. That’s what he asks of me.”

“I’m not going to say it’s easy but when you consider the monster players I’ve got playing alongside me, I’m always going to be put through in one-on-one situations. In every game I get at least a couple of one-on-ones and so I have to take my chances.”

With four teams in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Premier League is being hailed as the best in the world. Tevez agrees.

He said: “English football for me is the best and most exciting to watch. As I said when I played for West Ham, it’s an impressive league.The stadiums are always full, even when you play in the early rounds of cup competitions and friendlies. At Old Trafford that is 76,000 people seated. That doesn’t happen in Italy and Spain.”
