Mancini regrets Sturridge loss

The Man City boss says that the loss of the player on a free transfer to their rivals was a big mistake.

“It was strange because he started out in Manchester and someone let him out of the club for nothing. Given the chance I think I would have liked to have kept him, but now he is at Chelsea we can do nothing. I know for sure he was one of the best young players that was here. I asked him last year when he played for Bolton why he left Manchester City and he said he didn’t know.”
