Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that Argentine striker Carlos Tevez will score against Manchester United because it is written in the stars.
Carlos Tevez was expected to be out of the City team in January, but it an unexpected twist in the future of the Argentine, he has returned at just the crucial stage of the campaign for Manchester City. His return has also coincided with the significant boost in the form of fellow Argentine Sergio Aguero, who seemed to be in the shadows of Italian striker Mario Balotelli. Now that the Italian striker has been dropped from the City squad, Aguero has once again begun scoring goals.
Yet, Mancini reckons that it will be Carlos Tevez for will be the centre of the show when City entertain archrivals Manchester United at the Etihad stadium on Monday night. This match has been billed as the most crucial in the Premier league for the next 10 years because it would determine whether Manchester city can win their first Premier league title or not. United are the favourites to win the title this season, as they come in with a three-point advantage with only two matches remaining. However, a City win could change things in favour of the blue half of Manchester.
Mancini reckons that it is the destiny of former Manchester United player Carlos Tevez to score in this crucial match. “I think Carlos is destined to score the most important goal in the history of this club. This is my belief. “If you win the title there can be no debate about who is the No1 team in Manchester. For this year, at least. United have a fantastic history and it is impossible to change that but, for us, our targets should be to match the achievements of United, Barcelona and Real Madrid,” Mancini said.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that he is not confident about Carlos Tevez staying at Manchester City beyond the end of the season. Carlos Tevez returned after a three-month hiatus to help City once again challenge for the title alongside United.
After City went behind United by eight points in the league table, it looked like the faint title hopes were destroyed. However, Carlos Tevez returned to the City first team to inspire them to a 4-0 win over West Brom, which was followed by the 6-1 thrashing of Norwich City. This put the pressure back on United, who faltered against Wigan recently.
The 28-year-old has scored four goals in the last two matches from Manchester city, while he has also been responsible for the resurgence in the form within Sergio Aguero. All this has led to the talk of Carlos Tevez staying with City beyond the end of the season.

Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero has said that the arrival of Carlos Tevez back into the Manchester City squad will make a huge difference in the remainder of the Premier league matches. City are currently in the second position in the table after having lost their lead, which they held since November, to Manchester United recently.
The 1-0 loss to Swansea coupled with the Manchester United win helped their arch rivals move one point clear of them at the top of the table. Speaking after the 2-1 win over Chelsea, star striker Sergio Aguero said that he expects Carlos Tevez to make a big impact on the squad and the results in the remainder of the matches.
Mancini recently drafted Tevez back into the squad, and introduced him as a substitute in the match against Chelsea recently. Manchester City were trailing the match 1-0, but following the introduction of the Argentine striker, they managed a comeback 2-1 win over the London team. Aguero has been the leading goal scorer for City this season with 24 goals. However, he has said that Carlos Tevez has a crucial role to play in the remaining matches of the season. City are hoping to win their first title since 1968.
“Carlos is a key player because he’s got five years’ experience of playing in the Premier League. We have a lot of good players here and he is one other player, but he will be very important to us because he’s one in a long list of top quality players at this club,” Agüero said after the match. City will be making the trip to Stoke City during the weekend, while Manchester United are at home to Fulham. United are certainly have the easier fixtures from now till the end of the season.
Manchester City midfield talisman David Silva believes that the return of temperamental striker Carlos Tevez has come at the perfect time with City entering the final phase in the quest for their first ever English Premier League title and having won the title on two consecutive occasions during his spell in the red half of Manchester with Manchester United, has the experience to handle the pressure situations at the end of a title race, which will be extremely helpful for City.
Tevez returns to Manchester City after a highly publicized fallout with the manager Roberto Mancini when he refused to come on as a substitute in a UEFA Champions League match against German giants Bayern Munich, having issued a statement apologizing for his behavior and Silva believes that a player of his quality will hit the ground running and be of a lot of help to the title winning cause of The Citizens.
Roberto Mancini added that Carlos Tevez would be in the running for a first team spot after a week or two, provided he is fit enough to play. Many pundits have already started to talk about City bottling in the business end of the season but Mancini believes that players like Tevez, Yaya Toure, and such others who have won a League title in their career will be of immense help in guiding the other players to glory.

Manchester City found Carlos Tevez guilty of a breach of contract in an investigation, and subsequently fined him to the tune of £ 1.2 million.

But he broke the cardinal rule that you don’t burn your bridges in life,” Gary Neville said in a recent interview. He display much expected that Carlos Tevez would make a huge difference to Manchester City upon his return to the first-team action.
