Manchester City chief Brian Marwood is coy over AC Milan's interest in Robinho.

Last night, Marwood was evasive when asked about reports that Milan had been talking to Robinho as a possible back-up option if they fail to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Barcelona.

"It's just reports at the moment," he said. "I would not call Robinho a misfit. He lit up Eastlands at times but there are other factors. The Premier League is not an easy environment even for a man with his talent."
