Tevez cops pelters from Man Utd teammates over Argentina humiliation

Manchester United defender John O'Shea admits Carlos Tevez is set for plenty of stick after Argentina's 6-1 thrashing by Bolivia.

Wednesday's World Cup rout in Bolivia equalled the worst defeat Argentina have ever suffered in a competitive match, with Tevez going through the agony along with Lionel Messi, Javier Mascherano and Gabriel Heinze.

And after brooding on his fate on the flight back across the Atlantic, O'Shea revealed Tevez could not expect much sympathy when he returned to Carrington.

"We will give Carlos a bit of stick," the defender said.

"Sometimes you get an arm around the shoulder but Patrice Evra and Park Ji-sung will not give him any sympathy. They will get stuck right into him.

"It was just an amazing result."

However, with Tevez needed in top form on Sunday, O'Shea wants his team-mate to channel his aggression in the right manner.

"We just hope he is angry and wants to take his frustration out on Villa," he said.
