Sheringham: Man Utd missing Tevez more than Ronaldo

Manchester United hero Teddy Sheringham believes manager Sir Alex Ferguson will be missing Manchester City star Carlos Tevez.

The Argentinian's departure to rivals City was overshadowed by the £80m world record exit of Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid.

But Sheringham, speaking at the PokerStars amfAR Charity Poker Tournament which raised $97,500 (£60,500) for AIDS research, insists the loss of Tevez has rocked United most.

He said: "It's always difficult to lose a special player and ­Cristiano Ronaldo is one of those. He created so much and scored so many goals that they were always going to miss him.

"But for me United miss Carlos Tevez just as much, if not more, than they do Ronaldo. His work-rate for United was phenomenal and it was always going to be difficult to replace someone like that."
