Manchester United vs Manchester City: Tevez ready to be booed

Saturday's early Manchester United vs Manchester City kick-off is set to light up fire between the two rivals and their fans.
Ex-Man United striker Carlos Tevez is expected to be targeted with boos again, but the player insists that he is ready for that.
"I don't care if people boo me. It doesn't bother me and I'm not worried about going there [at Old Trafford]," Tevez told the Daily Mirror.
"There was much booing last year, but I understand. As a supporter, you will defend your club; and I play for the opposing team now.
"[Manchester] United fans can't say that I didn't give everything when I was there. Maybe some United fans still don't understand why I left.
"But I'm a professional footballer and being booed is a price I must pay sometimes. It doesn't affect me at all."
During his time as a Manchester United player, Carlos Tevez scored 34 goals in almost 100 appearances. His goal scoring record at Manchester City is even better as he has found the net more times than he did at United despite playing not more than 70 matches in total.
Will the Argentine inspire the Sky Blues to a vital victory over the Red Devils on Saturday?
