United in for Inter hell-raiser

Manchester United are tempted to make a move for Inter Milan ‘bad boy’ Mario Balotelli. According to the player’s agent, the EPL runners-up want his client at Old Trafford in order to prevent him joining bitter-rivals Manchester City. "The interest of Manchester for Balotelli is concrete and both clubs have confirmed it,” said Mino Raiola on Monday. "The player is clearly happy to be followed by Ferguson, but I cannot exclude that in the end the player will remain at Inter or play in a different club with respect to the English outfit. In any case we will take every step with calmness and evaluate each time the situation." The 19-year-old Balotelli is considered one of Europe’s most exciting talents despite a reputation for being a hell-raiser.
