Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson refused to answer questions about Carlos Tevez's future at the end of yesterday's derby win.

After scoring the Reds' brilliant second, he held his hands behind his ears. The Argentinian's future remains unclear, but Sir Alex was again unmoved over the issue.

"I didn't read [what he was quoted as saying in] the papers. You hear things… but, look, he is a Manchester United player. The fans love him. Our fans love triers. When players try, the fans love that."

Asked when Tevez's future would be sorted out, the boss responded curtly: "I'm not getting into that, OK?"
