Mancini admits Hart likely to return to Man City

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says Joe Hart will "probably" stay with Manchester City next season. Hart has enjoyed an exceptional campaign after being loaned out to Birmingham, which is likely to be capped by earning a place in Fabio Capello's World Cup squad this summer.

Given his performances for Birmingham this term, it is no surprise Blues boss Alex McLeish is keen to secure Hart's services for another season.

"Joe Hart is a good goalkeeper, who next year could be an important goalkeeper for England and Manchester City," said Mancini.

"He is only young and probably he will stay with us.

"But it is not an important issue just now.

"We must concentrate on our games and stick with what is happening this season."
