Tevez is City’s Rooney, reckons Mancini

MANCHESTER CITY manager Roberto Mancini is hoping Carlos Tevez stays injury-free until the end of the season.

That is because the Italian boss believes the Argentinean is just a vital to the team’s cause as Wayne Rooney is to Manchester United.

While Rooney is recovering from an ankle injury, Tevez will be aiming to put Birmingham to the sword tomorrow.
