Manchester United management insist they weren't surprised by Carlos Tevez's double for Manchester City in their Carling Cup win.

Tevez made the most of the goals he scored against his old club.

"Carlos didn't do anything that people don't know that he does on a regular basis," said United assistant boss Mike Phelan.

"That is his game. He has done his bit for the reds. Now he has to do his bit for the blues. We were ready for that.

"But the second goal in particular was disappointing. It is not great from a set-piece."
