Wantaway Tevez will still be a City slicker, says Mancini

MANCHESTER CITY manager Roberto Mancini has downplayed suggestions Carlos Tevez could move to Inter Milan in a swap deal involving full-back Maicon.

City’s wantaway talisman has been linked persistently with Inter but Mancini insists there has been no approach and the Argentinian will return to normal training next week.

Tevez is not available for tomorrow’s season-opening Community Shield clash against Manchester United having been granted a 21-day break following the end of his involvement in the Copa America.
