Rio Ferdinand has admitted that he was fully aware of just how good a player Manchester City were signing when Carlos Tevez moved to the Etihad Stadium.
Tevez joined United on loan in 2007 and spent two seasons at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson. During that time, the Argentine scored 34 goals in 99 appearances for the Reds.
When it became time for the striker to move permanently away from Upton Park, instead of joining United Tevez opted to move across to the blue half of Manchester. He would end up being just as successful for the Blues, scoring 78 goals during a four-year stint.
