Man City ace Tevez shocked by reaction from Man Utd fans

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez is shocked that a coin was thrown in his direction during Sunday's derby at Manchester United.

The missile struck City teammate Javier Garrido and Tevez said: "It was incredible because I have never seen something like that happen in the two years I played at Old Trafford.

"If this person really has thrown the object at me then it would be right if United were to exclude him.

"The atmosphere was very negative towards us but it didn't affect our game. The score was unjust. The amount of extra-time was exaggerated but now we look forward to the return match and we feel obliged to beat United.

"I must admit I did believe I would get a different reception from the United supporters. Initially everything was positive and I was greeted by my former team-mates and United staff without any problems at all.

"But as soon as I entered the field the atmosphere was very different. It was hard to take because previously I was always wanted by those people. But I suppose in football situations change."
