Inter Milan midfielder Patrick Vieira says he's moving to Manchester City to win back his France World Cup place.

Former Arsenal captain Vieira, who also played for Juventus, has revealed it is certainly the end of his Italian adventure.

"I wanted to go to the World Cup and I need playing time," he told Canal Plus. "It's over, after a year in Turin and three and a half years in Milan.

"I have objectives and I can't achieve them by staying at Inter where I am not part of the coach's choice.

"What's important for me is to go to Manchester City, to show the coach that I am the same as I was during the period when he was at Inter.

"All this will help me get into the France team."
