Roberto Mancini and Mario Balotelli had to be pulled apart by Manchester City players and staff after a furious bust-up at training today.

These extraordinary pictures show the City boss and Italian striker physically grappling at the training ground this morning in full view of the squad and staff.

Mancini was reportedly incensed by a mis-timed tackle by the 22-year-old forward on winger Scott Sinclair.

The manager went to keep the two players apart but Balotelli then squared up to the Italian who reacted by grabbing the young striker by his training bib.

Staff were forced to intervene and coach Brian Kidd had to get between the two before dragging Mancini away from the player as other staff pulled Balotelli away
