Manchester City midfielder James Milner believes that Manchester United should be worried about the imminent return of Carlos Tevez.

The Argentine striker is expected to be named in Roberto Mancini's squad for the game against Chelsea on Wednesday after he returned to first-team training following a five-month absence over an argument with the Italian.

Critics have voiced their concerns over his return, however Milner is confident that the return of Tevez will prove a major boost to the club's title chances.

"We still see him as one of us. Having him back is like getting a new signing and he can still have a big impact on what happens this season," Milner told The Mirror.

"He is good enough to make a big ­difference to any team in the world. You want those players with you rather than against you.

"I am sure United won't enjoy seeing Carlos back in a City shirt because we are better with him than without him. The manager is looking for an edge and he knows Carlos Tevez can give it to him. We have the squad to cope with the games and the ­pressure that comes at the end of the ­season."

Tevez, who scored 34 goals during his time at United, has scored 53 times for City.
