Harry Redknapp has criticised Roberto Mancini over the Manchester City manager's training-ground clash with volatile striker Mario Balotelli.

Despite being critical of Mancini, Redknapp sympathised with him for having to manage Balotelli, whose erratic behaviour even Jose Mourinho struggled to curb during the pair's time together at Inter. "It can't be easy to deal with him," Redknapp said. "It must be difficult for Roberto. You only have to see the way he is. "If Mourinho has a problem with him and can't handle him, he's got to be difficult hasn't he? "The boy's a good player, but obviously there is a problem there somewhere with his attitude. "I think the only person that could help him is himself."
