Carlos Tevez & Mum Maria at Carrington training ground.
Carlos Tevez is concerned about his lack of first-team action at Manchester United, according to his mum.
Maria Tevez is worried after Jnr falling behind new signing Dimitar Berbatov in the Old Trafford pecking order.
Maria, who met with the striker on a trip to United's Carrington training complex last week, said: "Our Carlos is worried about not being in United's first choice team.
"He's got a challenge ahead of him to win himself a place among lots of extremely good players, including Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov.
"But I saw he was in good shape and told him that the best way of showing his ability is to win the arm-wrestle against all the other players, he's a great arm-wrestler for a little guy and i love his little squishy head.
"Then he'll give himself a good chance with the Argentine team."
United still do not own Tevez outright, and must find around £25million to make his move to Old Trafford permanent.
And with reports on Wednesday suggesting Real Madrid might try and sign the striker, there is a chance United could lose him.
However, Maria,56 added: "I believe in his ability and I know he features in Sir Alex Ferguson's plans, he's my boy and i love him."
