Shanghai: The world's highest-paid footballer, Carlos Tevez, has come under fire from Shanghai Shenhua supporters after being spotted at Disneyland, the same day he missed an important match due to injury.

The Argentinian striker, who's been earning a 38-million-euro salary since he joined the Chinese team at the start of the year, was photographed on Saturday at Shanghai Disneyland.

"We pay him tens of millions so that he can have a guided tour of Shanghai," one disgruntled Internet user wrote on football site Hupu.

"I wonder if Shenhua paid his Disneyland expenses," wrote another.

Tevez has been nursing a muscle injury since his last match.
