Manchester City playmaker Samir Nasri has hit out at recent criticism from Roberto Mancini and has claimed Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is the best boss he's worked with.
Nasri has struggled this season at the Etihad Stadium and it appears all is not well between the Frenchman and his Italian manager.
Mancini this week joked that he "wanted to punch" the midfielder for a series of inconsistent performances, and also questioned whether Nasri was applying himself enough in training.
But Nasri is not happy with Mancini's comments, and has even claimed his problems wouldn't exist if he was still playing under Wenger.
"Mancini showed bad faith in his comments. He is exaggerating. He doesn't necessarily speak all that good English so sometimes his comments are a bit raw.
"When he said I trained at 50 per cent, that wasn't true. I haven't had a good season, I am aware of that and the first to admit it. To say it's because of a lack of effort just isn't true.
"It's time to talk, explain and say certain things. Arsene Wenger is the one who understood me most, with whom I had the greatest affinity.
"I'm very grateful to him as he signed me after perhaps my worst season at Marseille when I had a bout of meningitis. He played a huge role in my career."
