Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has admitted he tried to sign Milos Krasic from Thursday's Europa League opponents Juventus. The Italian claims he made overtures to sign Krasic while he was in charge of Inter Milan and also at Eastlands, but failed on both occasions.
"He's a player I have always followed, I tried to sign him when I was Inter coach and I tried again when I arrived at City," he said.
