Man City’s Mancini says nothing behind trip to watch Juventus

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says there is nothing behind his midweek trip to Craven Cottage to watch Juventus take on Fulham.

There is speculation linking Mancini with the Juventus post but he has revealed he was at the match simply to watch Fulham as his side were taking them on in the Premier League on Sunday night.

“I was at the stadium on Thursday simply because today we were meeting Fulham in the league so I wanted to watch the show there," Mancini was quoted as saying in the Italian press.

"I am honoured that my name has been linked to that of Juventus but there is no truth at all."
