I don't care if you go, Tevez
WARNING ... Mancini has told Tevez to give 100 per cent

CARLOS TEVEZ will start at Wembley today with a stark warning from Roberto Mancini to confirm he is 100 per cent committed to Manchester City - or leave.

The Eastlands boss said: "He's got a five-year contract but, in my opinion, a player should stay here because he believes in the project and he's happy at the club. If players aren't happy to stay, it's better they leave."

Skipper Tevez, 27, will line up for today's Cup final after recovering from a hamstring injury.

But the Argie striker's future has been in doubt ever since he had a transfer request turned down back in December.

If Mancini gets any indication at the end of this season that Tevez is unsure about staying, then he will want to get rid quick to get new faces in.

City are already preparing to quote £50million to potential buyers, although Mancini insists he would rather Tevez stays.

The Italian said: "Carlos has scored more than 20 goals and he's an important player for us.

"But - and this is not just for Carlos, it's for the players in general - when you start your job you should be happy because the season is long and there could be a thousand problems.

"I would say all the players at the moment are happy to stay because we've got into the Champions League."
