Carlos Tevez wants to stay at Manchester United until he is 28, and then quit Old Trafford for Boca Juniors.

The diminutive Argentine has established himself as a United favourite since making the switch from West Ham but his existing deal expires at the end of next season.

Tevez, 23-years-old, has every intention of staying at United beyond his current contract but a return to his homeland, and his boyhood club, remains at the forefront of his thoughts.

Eager not to return to his first club as a 'fatso', Tevez wants to be in his prime for the Boca faithful.

Peak powers

"At 28, I want to be in Boca. I have another year on my contract with Manchester and I could extend it for four years more then return," he told The Sun.

"But I want to return to Boca at my peak not as some fatso. Imagine if you cannot move - they'd scream insults at you. If I return it will be to get stuck in and play!

"But I'd like to stay a few more years in Manchester. They look after me well."
