Balotelli insists he will stick with Man City

Mario Balotelli is only thinking about staying with Manchester City.

The striker has been linked with AC Milan.

But he told the Sunday Mirror: "When I first came here it was difficult. Why? ­Because I came from another country and I am only 20. I also had two difficult injuries.

"But the idea people have of me is not correct. I am shy. I like to do what normal 20-year-old guys like to do.

"There are things I regret. But people don't always do the right thing, do they?

"Next season I think my family will come over to live with me, and it will be better.

"There hasn't been one match this season when I have played at my best level. My normal level is better than most players, but when I play at my best then I know I am one of the best in the game."
