Jonny Evans feels Carlos Tevez has been wound up in his spat with Manchester United skipper Gary Neville. Tevez and Neville exchanged gestures immediately after the Argentina star's equaliser in Tuesday's Carling Cup semi-final at Eastlands.
There has then followed an explosive radio interview in which Tevez labelled Neville a "moron" and "bootlicker" and claimed his former skipper said he was not worth £25million.
The trigger was an interview given by Neville to the Sunday Times in Malta in which he backed Ferguson's decision to release Tevez.
"Gary and Carlos are not team-mates any more and they don't have to be pals but I think this has all been lost in translation a little bit," said the Northern Ireland international.
"I don't think Gary said Carlos wasn't worth £25million. He was just saying the manager usually gets these decisions right and we will get on with it.
"From what I hear, either Carlos has read it wrong or someone is winding him up and he has reacted."
