Mancini salutes Tevez
Manchester City coach Roberto Mancini hailed Carlos Tevez's goal-scoring record on Saturday as the Argentine striker eyed an emotional cup clash with former club Manchester United.
Tevez has hit 12 goals since leaving Old Trafford last year and will get the chance to add to that total when the Manchester rivals clash in the League Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.
Before that, City travel to Middlesbrough on Saturday for an FA Cup third-round tie.
"Carlos Tevez has been outstanding," said Mancini. "He is a world-class striker who is in top form.
"He is playing with a smile on his face and to score eight goals during December was an incredible effort.
"He has scored 12 times already for City since he came to the club which is a pretty impressive ratio.
"But Carlos is not just putting the ball in the net. His movement and pace worries defenders and he is clever too. His team ethic is fantastic and he has a good understanding with the players around him."
