London, Jan. 5 : Argentine soccer star Carlos Tevez has hit out at claims that he has snubbed a new deal at Manchester United.

The 24-year-old insists he wants to stay, adding "We have not started talks yet.

"Sir Alex has told me he wants me to remain a United player and that is certainly my desire too. My contract ends in the summer and we have agreed to sit down at the end of the season and discuss a new contract. I have a great relationship with Sir Alex and I hope that will continue," The Sun quoted him, as saying. (ANI)
