Mancini is out of order

ARSENE WENGER has branded Roberto Mancini "out of order" for expressing his desire to sign Samir Nasri.
The Arsenal manager was incensed by his Manchester City counterpart after announcing he intended to make a bid for the French winger this summer.
Nasri, 23, has one year left on his current contract and Mancini hopes the Gunners will be forced to sell now rather than lose him on a free transfer next summer.
But by stating his interest in public, Wenger believes the City boss has crossed the line.
Speaking after his side's 1-1 friendly draw with Hangzhou, he raged: "I think the comments are not allowed, they are against the rules of football and he should be informed.
"I don't know what should be done. I don't spend my time worrying about what other people say, because we are focused on our game.
"What we want is respect and we don't make these comments about players who are under contract at other clubs.
"Was he disrespectful? I cannot say otherwise. This comment is absolutely out of order, but I don't give it any more importance than that."
