Former Chelsea defender Mancienne excited about Hamburg move

Former Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne is excited about his £3 million move to Hamburg.

Mancienne is teaming up with ex-Blues technical director Frank Arnesen at the German outfit.

The 23-year-old told The Sun: "Hamburg get 50,000 every home game and my first job is to help them get in the Champions League. It's a very exciting move."

Mancienne was given special permission to fly from England Under-21s' Euro 2011 training camp in Malaga last night to have a medical in Hamburg before signing his new £40,000-a-week contract.
