Manchester City midfielder Nigel de Jong says a quick decision must be made over Carlos Tevez's future.

De Jong, a straight-talking character, said the situation involving Tevez must be resolved before it turns into another saga that detracts from what the team is trying to achieve.

"Yes, you always have to address them quickly. You can't continue talking about the same things for weeks and weeks," said De Jong.

"Everyone knows what's happening at Manchester City, because it's Manchester City - especially when things like this happen - but we've just got to keep ourselves focused, keep the concentration in the group as well and with the staff.

"Everyone is proud of this Manchester City. I didn't see the whole situation [involving Tevez in Munich] and can't have a good judgement about it.

"It is what it is at the moment. There are a lot of emotions going on, there is a lot of pressure on the players and staff and these things sometimes happen.

"There are always some bust-ups and things like that in dressing-rooms. That happens at big teams. Every big team has it.

"It's not only us. Barcelona. Real Madrid. You have things happening behind the scenes. We just have to see what happens in the coming days."
