Roberto Mancini expects to keep Carlos Tevez at Manchester City Football Club.

The 28-year-old Argentine looked to have played his last game for the Blues, after refusing to warm up against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League.

Tevez then went AWOL before apologising for his actions, and after a six-month layoff, returned to action in March and helped City win the Premier League title.

It has still been widely expected that the 28-year-old will quit England during the summer, with Milan said to be amongst the clubs interested in him.

However, speaking to tuttosport, Etihad Stadium boss Mancini said: "Tevez? I have forgiven him, even if he didn't play much. He will stay, unless he asks to leave.”
