Mario Balotelli has reiterated his love for Manchester City after his move back to Milan but underlined his indifference to the rest of English culture.

Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani presented Balotelli with his number 45 shirt before thanking the Premier League champions for their co-operation in allowing the deal to go ahead. He said: "As a club we are happy to bring back our Italian player after long negotiations and have to thank Manchester City in helping this transfer to go through. It was the most complicated in my career. "We are happy that Balotelli has joined the team he supported as a boy and it has been a dream of mine for a long to bring the player to the club. "I always said it was 99.9 per cent that it would not happen. I was just being realistic, but now it has happened."
