Manchester City 2 – 1 Manchester United
Tevez proves his worth against old club
The script was written perfectly for Manchester City as Carlos Tevez struck twice against old club Manchester United to leave the Blues on the brink of their first domestic final since 1981 after a 2-1 win.
Gary Neville comments on how Manchester United was right to part ways with Carlos Tevez was foolish yesterday and proven even more so today. The thing I most enjoy about Carlos Tevez is most foreign players view a club as just an employer. With Tevez you can tell he wishes to create a bond with the club and fans. You could tell that with his brief time with West Ham where he was loved by the supports and vice versa. In his first season with Manchester United again Tevez created a bond with his selflessness and hard work. Then everyone knows what happens with Manchester United bringing in Dimitar Berbatov.
Sir Alex Ferguson can’t admit to this mistake at the moment but I’d be shocked if one day he didn’t own up to the fact Dimitar Berbatov was a luxury Manchester United didn’t need and Carlos Tevez was one of the key reasons to their success the previous two years.
