Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has blanked questions over Carlos Tevez's future. Tevez claimed this week he'd welcome a move to bitter rivals Real Madrid.

"I have no thoughts on what Carlos Tevez has said," grumbled Ferguson.

"I have nothing to say.

"I am not going to comment on players' contracts. It is a private matter between the club and player. I am not getting into it at all. When a player signs we will let you know."
