Rafaal da Silva has hit out at former Manchester United teammate Carlos Tevez.

Ahead of the Copa Libertadores final between Boca Juniors and Fluminense, Brazilian Rafael has taken aim at Argentine Tevez.

"I'm not a fan of Tevez, not as a player," Rafael told Sportv. "I've already had a fight with him. The game against City, he'd left United. I've never been a fan of his because Tevez liked to rubbish new players.

"I'm not ashamed to say, I don't like him. He did a lot to young players. He treated the youngsters badly at United.

"He was always very respectful, but he really picked on the youngsters there, so I never liked him."

Rafael also said: "He left United for City. The fight happened, I hit him.

"The referee gave a foul, I did like this to get him off, he pushed me and it started."
