The Argentina striker also confirmed that Chelsea and Liverpool had made inquiries about securing his services.

Instead Tevez opted for a move to Manchester City after his extended loan deal at United ended, signing a lucrative five-year deal at Eastlands.

"Real made an offer but there was no agreement," Tevez told the Nation newspaper during a promotional visit to Abu Dhabi with his new club.

"There were talks about deals and agreements but in the end it was only City. They showed lots of interest in me and are intent on growing and signing big players. I am sad to leave United but I am excited to join City. I'm thinking about the future and I will grow with this club."

Meanwhile, manager Mark Hughes is continuing his pursuit of Emmanuel Adebayor and John Terry.
