5 controversial transfers in club Football

#4 Carlos Tevez (Manchester United to Manchester City)

Manchester United fans were infuriated when the Argentine international Carlos Tevez signed a contract with bitter rivals Manchester City, thus becoming only the second player to do so after Terry Cooke in 1999.

Tevez was disappointed with his limited role in the 2008/09 season but his move to Manchester City came as a surprise to the United faithful.

Add to that City’s growing clout in the Premier League and his involvement in the infamous “Welcome to Manchester” billboard, the powerful striker was always seen as the enemy in all his future appearances against the Red Devils.
