Mario Balatelli faces violent conduct charge

Manchester City and Italy forward Mario Balotelli is facing a four-match ban after being charged with violent conduct by the Football Association. Balotelli stamped Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker on Sunday. Even though the match referee didn’t book the striker as he felt it was not done with intend.

An FA statement read: "The FA has today charged Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli with violent conduct following an incident in his side's home game against Tottenham Hotspur.

"Balotelli was involved in an incident with Tottenham's Scott Parker during Manchester City's 3-2 victory at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday 22 January 2012.

"Balotelli has until 6pm on Wednesday 25 January 2012 to respond to the charge."

The one relief for the Eastlands club is that defender Joleon Lescott will face no further action for elbowing Tottenham defender Younes Kaboul in the face in a separate incident at the Etihad Stadium.

If Mario accepts his charge, he will miss the Carling Cup semi-final second leg against Liverpool at Anfield.

However, if the Italy international decide to appeal he will be free to face the Reds, with a hearing taking place later this week.

Harry Redknapp said "I don't like people kicking other people in the head on a football pitch,"

"It is not something I understand. Why should he go and back-heel someone in the head when he is on the floor?"

Manchester United eyeing shock bid for Chelsea Ace

English Champions Manchester United could make a shock bid to sign Chelsea play-maker Frank Lampard, according to reports in the UK.

The Red devils are losing their grip on their title defence after losing two back-to-back league matches against bottom floaters Blackburn and ever improving Newcastle United.

One of the main problem areas lie in midfield, where United have struggled for creativity - not helped by the long injuries list.

According to The Daily Mail and The Daily Mirror newspapers, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to stun the whole of English football with a shock move for the Chelsea midfielder.

The 70 year-old is believed to be a long-time admirer of the England international and is ready to seize upon on the chance to sign the 33-year-old this January.

Lampard’s future with the Blues remains a doubt after seemingly falling down the pecking order in Andre Villas-Boas side. He could well be tempted by a move to Old Trafford as he looks to revive his career.

The former West Ham player could be the man to solve United’s problem as the Red Devils have been lacking a midfield maestro since the retirement of legendary Paul Scholes.
