Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has made it clear he wants James Milner to stay.

Off contract in June, Milner struck twice in their FA Cup win over Sheffield Wednesday.

Pellegrini said: "(There is) no news. I hope we will find an arrangement.

"But I think that I have said already what I think about James Milner. He is very useful. He always plays with 100 per cent commitment and intensity.

"I am very happy for him and also as it his birthday."
