Carlos Tevez oversaw a come-from-behind Manchester City win in the first leg of the club's League Cup semi-final encounter over the Argentine forward's former club and City's local rivals Manchester United on Tuesday evening.

However, veteran winger Ryan Giggs believes the reigning League Cup holders do not regret selling Tevez last summer.

"There are no regrets," Giggs maintained to the Guardian. "Carlos is a good player and he is a good penalty taker. If he gets chances he scores.

"We know what Carlos is all about but he chose to go to City. That is the end of it.

"We have quality players at the club and we have shown that."

Tevez emphatically celebrated both of his strikes during City's 2-1 victory, which were a clear statement of his frustrations over his Old Trafford exit.

Assistant manager Mike Phelan echoed Giggs' assessment: "Carlos didn't do anything that people don't know that he does on a regular basis.

"That is his game. He has done his bit for the Reds. Now he has to do his bit for the Blues. We were ready for that.

"But the second goal in particular was disappointing [defensively]. It is not great from a set-piece."
