Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he's not angry with Mario Balotelli for touting himself to AC Milan.

Mancini denies he is furious with his outspoken striker.

"I read that I had become angry with him because he had dinner with [Milan CEO Adriano] Galliani, but I didn't even know about that and it's not true that I got angry with Balotelli," he told Radio Monte Carlo.

"I think that before he plays with 'Ibra', he has to play here. He has only played a couple of games and he has done well, despite that sending-off.

"I hope that now he can think of his experience here because this can be very useful to his career for all that he has. He must do well here."?
