Withdraws from the fight for London's forward Robin van Persie, announces the English press.
As of late, the interest from Italy's champion Turin "Juventus" has cooled down, leaving "Man Utd" as the main contender to acquire the Dutch national team star.
"Van Persie? No, I don't think he will play in our team," opened up "Man City" coach Roberto Mancini.
It is added that "Red Devils" coach Sir Alex Ferguson did not travel with the team to Norway to contribute to the completion of a €25 million deal.
Last season in the English "Premier" League, the Dutchman scored thirty goals in 37 matches. This summer, he stated that he does not intend to extend the contract expiring next year.
