Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp is convinced Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson will be hurting over the success of Carlos Tevez at Manchester City.

In his column for the Daily Mail, Redknapp wrote: "Carlos Tevez has 28 goals in 31 games. Maybe that's what Manchester United are missing.

"He has played most of those games for City as a lone front man. I wonder what the red half of Manchester feels about that with City in second place.

"You've got to admire the little man. Any team would want Tevez in their line-up. Especially United."
