Wayne Rooney names the former Man United team-mate he was 'devastated' to see leave and pinpoints move for shifting the 'balance of power' in Manchester
💔 Wayne Rooney: "I Was Devastated When Tevez Left Manchester United"
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has revealed the departure of Carlos Tevez in 2009 hit him hard — emotionally and competitively.
> 🗣️ "I was devastated when Carlos left. He was a warrior on the pitch and someone I loved playing alongside. His move to Manchester City didn’t just hurt us — it changed the city’s football landscape."
Tevez had become a fan-favourite at Old Trafford, forming a deadly trio with Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney himself. But his controversial switch to rivals Manchester City was more than just a transfer — it was the beginning of a power shift in Manchester.
From lifting trophies at United to becoming a symbol of City’s rise, Tevez’s move symbolized a new era. As Rooney admits, the departure "tipped the balance of power" — and United felt it.
🔥 One move. One player. A city changed.
