Argentina coach Diego Maradona has revealed how Carlos Tevez feels Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't rate him.

Maradona said: "I spoke with Tevez on the phone and the first thing he said to me was 'That old man doesn't like me.

"He's not playing me and he is lowering my value'.

"When he comes to Argentina, I'm going to reassure him. As I see it, he's fast, incisive, he scores goals.

"He is about to be called up for Argentina and he will be playing."
