Manchester City rebel Carlos Tevez won't walk away from the game.

The People says there were fears the 27-yearold Argentinian striker would turn his back on the game if he couldn't resolve his dispute with City in the January window.

But despite seeing a move to AC Milan break down on Friday night Tevez will return to Manchester and report to City's training ground at Carrington, possibly on Thursday.

Tevez hasn't been at the club since making an unauthorized trip to Buenos Aires in November for which he was fined £1.2 million.

But with the transfer window set to close on Tuesday night and no move in sight for Tevez ,the unhappy South American knows he has no option but to return to City.

It is believed Tevez did consider quitting earlier this season when his spat with manager Roberto Mancini and the club was raging.
