Roberto Mancini tells Carlos Tevez to keep it quiet

Regarding Tevez's remarks, Mancini said: 'I think these things can sometimes happen after a match.

'The players are tired and sometimes they do not think what they are saying.

'It is important that this matter is finished now as we need to focus on our next game.'

Mancini confirmed Tevez will be rested for the FA Cup match against Scunthorpe on Sunday, so he is fresh for the second leg at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

The Italian boss does not believe Tevez's comments about Neville could provoke crowd trouble.

He added: 'I hope not. In England it is beautiful as families go to a match. People have the right attitude.'
