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
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has admitted being left gutted by the departure of a team-mate during his time at the club and believes it signalled a major shift in the balance of power in the city. Rooney spent 13 years as a player at Man United and became the club's record goalscorer, netting 253 times in 559 appearances. His Man United career included five Premier League titles and a Champions League in 2008, as well as Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup triumphs. Rooney's spell at the club saw him play alongside an impressive cast list of players, including the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes. The club legend, however, has pinpointed that the departure of another forward player as one that left him 'gutted' during his time with the Red Devils. Rooney highlighted Carlos Tevez's exit from the club as a significant moment, with the Argentine forward moving to Man City ahead of the 2009-2010 season in a deal reportedly worth £25.5m. Tevez had turned down a permanent move to Man United, where he had spent the past two seasons on loan and formed part of a formidable forward line alongside Rooney and Ronaldo. The trio spearheaded their Premier League title win and Champions League success in the 2007-8 season, with another title and League Cup success following in the subsequent season. Confirmation of Tevez's move to Man City in July 2009 came just two weeks after Ronaldo's £80m move to Real Madrid was confirmed. Rooney admitted to the BBC that Tevez's move had left him 'gutted' and suggested the Argentine's move to Man City marked a shift in the power in the city. 'I was gutted to be honest, I'm pretty sure Carlos wanted to stay at Manchester United,' Rooney told the BBC. ' Man City decided to announce the transfer on a huge billboard in the centre of the city, it was pretty provocative to say the least. 'Sir Alex Ferguson came out and he said that City are a small club with a small mentality, he was absolutely stewing, United fans were stewing. 'But City fans lapped every single minute up of it because the balance of power in Manchester shifted. 'Man City at the time were trying to build and become competitive and I knew that he'd be a massive part of that because obviously the ability he has. I think we've seen when he went there, he had some great times there as well. 'I was devastated, I would've really like him to stay longer and continue to play with him.' While Chelsea and Man United claimed the next two Premier League titles, Tevez proved a key part of Man City's rise over his four-year spell at the club. Tevez was part of the squad that delivered their first Premier League title in the 2011-12 season, with the club's famously snatching the league away from Man United in injury-time on the final day of the season. While Man United wrestled back the title the following season, it has proved their last triumph while Man City have gone on to claim a further seven league titles.

'Shockwaves' and a 'pinnacle moment'
BBC Radio Manchester's Emily Brobin says Carlos Tevez's controversial move across Manchester from United to City in 2009 sent "shockwaves through football" in a special Football Daily episode reflecting on the Argentine striker's trophy-laden two years at Old Trafford ended with an infamous move to City and the iconic 'Welcome to Manchester' billboard that followed."Wow," said Brobin. "It caused the biggest uproar. "It was such a coup for City at the time, because City had just overcome the takeover. They're looking to make a real statement to send shockwaves through football. What better way to do that than to poach one of United's best players."That banner caused an absolute furore. Sir Alex Ferguson, he came out and he said that City was a small club with a small mentality. He was absolutely stewing."United fans were stewing, but City fans lapped every single minute up of it because that's the pettiness that we can all get behind, right?"I think that was the moment where everything changed and the balance of power in Manchester shifted."Tevez went on to win the Premier League with City but captaining the club to FA Cup victory in 2011signified a real momentum shift from the Red side of Manchester to the Blue after their derby win in the semi-final."That was a real seismic moment and I think, to be honest with you, looking back, that was probably the pinnacle moment of Carlos Tevez's career at City," Brobin added."Captaining City to their first trophy win in 35 years."

Tevez 'my favourite strike partner'
"Most defenders we played against hated playing against the two of us." Those are the words of Wayne Rooney, reflecting on his time playing alongside Carlos Tevez in a special episode of the Football Daily podcast about the divisive Argentine great. Advertisement Tevez spent two trophy-laden years at Old Trafford, winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup and the Club World Cup. "When Carlos joined Manchester United, there was a lot of talk about whether Carlos and I could play up front together," said Rooney. "I was really excited when we signed him. "We were similar in ways how we played - both worked hard and could both play as a nine, both play off the forward as well. "We had a really good understanding and chemistry on the pitch, off the pitch. "I used to pick him up to take him to the airport before Champions League games. It was interesting actually because we couldn't really have a conversation. I think his English was better than he let on. Advertisement "He's a player you'd always want on your team and he scored some great goals for us, at big moments for us as well. Two years at Manchester United - two league titles, the Champions League... he was a massive part of that. "I think Carlos was my favourite strike partner to play alongside. "Most defenders we played actually hated playing against the two of us and we could feel that. We knew we were nasty as well. "Very instinctive, intense, off the cuff. Anything could happen at any moment." [Getty Images] Tevez's time at Old Trafford ended in controversy, with a move to city rivals Manchester City and the iconic 'Welcome to Manchester' billboard that followed. Advertisement "When Carlos moved to Man City, I was gutted to be honest and I'm pretty sure Carlos wanted to stay at Manchester United," Rooney added. "At the time, City were trying to build, become competitive and win titles. I knew that he'd be a massive part of that because of the ability he has and I think we saw that when he went there. "He had some great times at Manchester City so I was devastated. I would have really liked for him to stay longer and to continue to play together." Listen to the full podcast here
