LONDON: Unsettled Argentina forward Carlos Tevez is to leave Manchester United, the Premier League champions said on Saturday.

Tevez, 25, whose "economic rights" are owned by agent Kia Joorabchian, left West Ham United for Manchester United on a two-year deal in August 2007.

He spent much of last season on the bench and his last appearance was as a substitute in the 2-0 Champions League final defeat by Barcelona in May.
