Paul Scholes feels for Carlos Tevez
Posted Friday, September 30, 2011 by The Sun
PAUL SCHOLES says he understands why Carlos Tevez refused to play for Manchester City.
Scholes did it himself at Manchester United in 2001.
He declined to play in a League Cup tie at Arsenal, believing he was being given the runaround by boss Alex Ferguson.
Scholes said: "I know how Carlos feels. He obviously thinks he is being messed about by Roberto Mancini and he probably has a case with the amount of football he has played.
"He was their best player last season. And there is no doubt that when Carlos Tevez is in the team, Manchester City are a better side."
Scholes reckons Tevez is suffering for trying to leave City in the summer.
He added: "I think Mancini is trying to get his own back on him.
"Carlos has it in his mind he is being messed about as he is not being played. And when you get that in your head, you make strange decisions.
"It is exactly what I did. But it is something he will regret in time."
Tevez refused to come off the bench during City's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich on Tuesday and, as a consequence, has now been suspended for two weeks.
