Mancini made clear Bridge would not be playing for City under him and that he had been playing golf on Saturdays whilst picking up £90,000 a week.
Bridge told the Daily Mail: “Roberto Mancini obviously doesn’t know me very well because I don’t play golf. When I was at Chelsea I was playing for a team where Ashley Cole was the best in the world and I still got games. It won’t happen at City. There has never been an explanation but it’s obvious they don’t want me.”
