Carlos Tevez's last pay packet from United was docked significantly after he left his Prestbury mansion needing £30,000 worth of repairs.
Insiders said posh Italian furniture was damaged and the Argentine's dogs allegedly ruined other items.
Details of the damage at the house in Prestbury, Cheshire, emerged after Tevez, 24, was unveiled last week as a Manchester City player following a £26.5million move.
A United source said: "The house was a tip and we made Carlos pay. We don't know who was responsible.
"But the matter has now been resolved."
