Manchester City insist manager Roberto Mancini is under no pressure to sell Mario Balotelli.

Recent criticism from football chief Brian Marwood of certain players not being good role models has been taken personally by City striker Balotelli.

The suggestion has been that Marwood is only reflecting the view of Balotelli held by City's Abu Dhabi owners. But City deny Mancini will be pressured into selling the player, says the Daily Express.
