Tevez to fans: Forget Man U, focus on City

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has urged the club's fans to focus their energies on supporting City rather than taunting arch-rivals Manchester United.

Tevez joined City from United before the start of last season and soon afterwards his new supporters started the chant of "Fergie, Fergie, sign him up", a dig directed at long-serving United manager Alex Ferguson for letting the Argentina striker cross the Manchester divide to the dismay of many of the Old Trafford club's fans.

"The thing that would wind up Sir Alex more than anything is for us to win something and really start achieving things," Tevez told ManC, the official Manchester City magazine.

"It is not the song that needs to change; it's the attitude or mindset of our fans. Let's not think about Sir Alex Ferguson and Man Utd, we need to think of City and what we can do.
