Aston Villa defender Micah Richards told "Sky Sports" that he rejected the chance to link up with former City boss Roberto Mancini at Inter Milan: "I was speaking to Inter as well with Mancini. They tried to get me in January but that didn't materialise. I spoke to him afterwards but I wanted to come back to England .I didn't want to be out in Italy and then the manager gets sacked and I'm fighting for my place in the same situation. That's one of the main reasons I chose to come back.”
