CARLOS TEVEZ barely spoke during his spell at Manchester United, claims Rio Ferdinand.<\/strong><\/p>\n The striker spent two years at Old Trafford but his inability to speak English meant communication with his team-mates was difficult.<\/p>\n Ferdinand, 45, revealed he would often grunt but the rest of the squad did not mind as he performed well on the pitch.<\/p>\n The pundit told TNT Sports: "Carlos Tevez is a good example, he barely spoke anything other than muttering and grunting.<\/p>\n "But when he got out there (the pitch) he was a phenomenal player who we all appreciated and we didn't mind him not speaking the language."<\/p>\n Tevez, 39, won five trophies at United including the Champions League in his first season.<\/p>\n He also helped the Red Devils to two Premier League titles before his infamous switch to rivals Manchester City.<\/p>\n In an interview earlier this year Tevez revealed he refused to learn English as he had a "cultural problem" with the language, blaming England for the Falklands War, which his uncle fought in.<\/p>\n He said: "I spent seven years in England, but I did not adjust to the English culture. <\/p>\n "I did not like learning English because of my uncle and the culture shock that it caused me."<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFER<\/strong><\/p>\n Tevez famously kept West Ham in the Premier League in 2007 while he also won the league and FA Cup with City.<\/p>\n He scored 34 goals in 99 games for United and became a fan favourite before joining City.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
