Manchester United winger Nani has warned Roberto Mancini he will struggle if Carlos Tevez leaves City.[LNB] The Portuguese star played alongside the Argentine during his Old Trafford days, but Tevez could be on his way out of City this season having asked for a move.[LNB]United and City come up against each other in Sunday's FA Community Shield, the season-opener at Wembley, and Nani has reminded City boss Mancini of Tevez's talent.[LNB]"I played with Carlos and he is an important player for any club," he told The Sun.[LNB]"I don't know if he will stay at City but, if he does go, it will be a big problem for Mancini because of the way that he plays and his experience. [LNB]"The Community Shield is the first official title of the season and we want to win. And facing City makes the match more exciting. [LNB]"It's also our first derby of the season, so to lift the trophy would raise our morale and inflict pain on our rivals." [LNB]This summer, Nani has reportedly been the subject of interest from Serie A giants Juventus, who believe the 24-year-old is unsettled by the £17million arrival of fellow winger Ashley Young.[LNB]Nani insists that is not the case, though, and has vowed to continue working hard for United's cause.[LNB]"I prefer to forget the rumours about other clubs being interested in me," he added. "I don't want to say too much but, if they are true, it's because I have been working well. [LNB]"But, sincerely, I am focused only on United. [LNB]"I speak with Mr Ferguson a lot - many times - and he is always very clear. He explains what he wants from me and I do everything to try and fulfil the mission."
