James Milner wants Manchester City teammate Carlos Tevez to fire them to title glory.

Despite going AWOL earlier this season, Milner insists all is forgiven as far as City's players are concerned.

Milner told the Sunday Mirror: "The manager is a winner. He wants to win the league. So I'm sure that if he feels Carlos Tevez can help him win football matches then he'll pick him.

"We've got to draw a line under what ­happened. Once the manager brought ­Carlos back into the squad there was never going to be a problem as far as the other players were concerned.

"We still see him as one of us. Having him back is like getting a new signing and he can still have a big impact on what happens this season.

"He is good enough to make a big ­difference to any team in the world. You want those players with you rather than against you."
