Former Man United star Rafael RIPS into Carlos Tevez and claims his old team-mate 'picked on youngsters' while at the club... as he reopens feud that culminated in infamous derby bust-up

Rafael da Silva has reignited his feud with Carlos Tevez, claiming he has 'never been a fan of his' because he would 'pick on' youngsters while at Manchester United.

Sir Alex Ferguson recruited Tevez in 2007 from West Ham as he looked to bolster his attacking options, adding to Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

The fruits of that move led to a Premier League title and Champions League success in the Argentine's first season - but it is safe to say Rafael never saw eye-to-eye with the volatile striker.
