MAN CITY manager Roberto Mancini will let Shay Given go out on loan next month – but he prefers if he goes to Italy.
Italian giants Roma are understood to want the Lifford man until the end of the season on loan with a possible purchase.
It’s understood Mancini would prefer if Given did go abroad, so he doesn’t end up in goals for a Premiership club.
Aston Villa is the latest in a list of clubs to enquire about Given – with Arsenal, Celtic, Liverpool and even Manchester United linked to the player.
A move back to Newcastle has also been mentioned.
