Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has ruled out a move for AC Milan forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer.The Italian led his side to a maiden Premier League title this term with a last-gasp victory over QPR on the final day of the season.

However, the 47-year-old boss insists a forward line of Carlos Tevez, Sergio Aguero, Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli is strong enough.
"Ibrahimovic is a champion," Mancini told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"But I already have four very strong strikers. I just need them to compete in the Champions League. We are okay up front."
The 30-year-old striker scored 35 goals in 44 appearances for the Milan outfit last term, as they finished second in Serie A and reached the last eight of the Champions League.
He is set to captain Sweden at Euro 2012 this summer, who have been drawn in Group D alongside France, Ukraine and England.
