Mancini insists Man City not moving on Celtic midfielder Wanyama

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has cooled speculation linking him with a swoop for Celtic midfielder Victor Wanyama. Mancini saw the 21-year-old in action during Celtic's 3-0 UEFA Champions League loss to Juventus on Tuesday.

The Italian said: "I saw him for the first time against Juventus, I never saw him before.

"But every time I go to see a game, the next day people say 'Manchester City want to buy this player'."

When asked whether he would be interested in signing Wanyama, Mancini added: "At the moment, no. I think he is a good player."
