Roberto Mancini hit back at allegations from Carlos Tevez that he had been treated 'like a dog', and insisted he has been too tolerant of Manchester City's rebel striker. Mancini has clearly lost patience with the long-running saga, and after taking just one question on Tevez when City arrived in Porto on Wednesday night, he vowed not to discuss the player for the rest of the season. Sources close to the City boss admit he has been 'hurt' by Tevez's latest claims in an explosive interview that aired on the eve of his return to England on Tuesday following a three-month absence spent at home in Argentina.
