Carlos Tevez’s agent responded to Gary Neville’s claims that the Argentine “shot down tools” in his last year at Manchester United.
The striker had influenced the success of the Premier League and the Red Devils Champions League.
He moved to Old Trafford in 2007 and spent two years at the club, scoring 34 times, before crossing town to join Manchester City.
But before the move, Neville accused the 36-year-old now of running late to train and sit at the treatment table.
“What bothered me about Tevez was that he dropped the tools in his second season,” said the Sky Sports expert. “I was disappointed because, as a professional, he did not act the right way.”
But Kia Joorabchian has defended her client and has rejected any suggestion she has made.
He said: “Absolutely not, he was desperate to play. He scored 15 goals with seven assists, his record was excellent. Each time, he was available for every game bar, the three he lost to injury.
“I think the professionalism of the person to be questioned is Gary Neville because he did not do his homework in Carlos’ career or as a reporter to say why Tevez was not [professional].

“He never made phone calls, he never asked me or anyone else the question to find out what happened. He just makes comments over and over again.”
“By saying things like that, he is putting a mark on the back of a player who has won double or triple the trophies he has won.”
“Carlos has won trophies in every league he has played in, has been nominated for South American Player of the Year more than any other player in history, and now, at 34, has just won the league and scored the winning goal with Boca Juniors again. “
Tevez’s decision to cross the gap in Manchester drew inevitable criticism.
But Joorabchian was eager to point out that United could have kept the player if they wanted to.
He continued: “Generally speaking, Gary Neville talked about professionalism, the treatment table and talked about the people who are in his [Tevez’s] ear.
“What he doesn’t understand is, and this is when a journalist must have the correct information, no matter who was in his ear, no matter who was speaking to him, if Man United had wanted to exercise an option, all they had to do was sign a document and send it to the Premier League. “
