Tevez unfazed by booing fans

Carlos Tevez is not concerned about the prospect of being jeered on Saturday when he wears the CIty shirt on his return to Old Trafford.

Once a favourite at Manchester United, he is now an inspirational figure in manager Roberto Mancini's ambitious side.

A first–half hat–trick against West Brom on Saturday took his tally for the season to 20 goals.

It sets the Argentina striker up nicely for the derby, especially as the gap between the two sides is down to five points with the leaders losing to Wolves.

He is not worried about getting plenty of stick at the ground he used to grace.

Tevez said: "I don't care about people booing me at Old Trafford. It doesn't worry me and I'm not worried about going there.

"The booing happened a lot last year, but I understand. As a supporter, you defend your club and I am on the opposing team now.

"Manchester United fans can never say I didn't give my all during the time I was there.”
