Ajax instructor Frank de Boer admits he is flattered to be connected with the Manchester City career, but insists he's maybe not held discussions with the reigning Premier League winners, stories Voetbal Primeur. Speculation is mounting that the 42-year-old is being set up as a successor to Roberto Mancini, and may change the Italian at the Etihad Stadium at the end of the period. Birmingham City's concept defense has imploded in 2013 while they stay 15 points adrift of leaders Manchester United with just eight games remaining. Enhance that, the fact that the Citizens didn't make it beyond the Champions League party stages for the 2nd straight time, and it's clear to see why Mancini is under increasing pressure. Dutch story De Boer is quickly building a reputation together of the best young executives in Europe, together with his Ajax side currently sitting three points apparent of PSV Eindhoven at the top of the Eredivisie table. But, if rumours are correct that Manchester City officials are preparing a strategy for the former Barcelona star, he then has not been made aware of any interest. "It is lovely, but I've perhaps not seen anything [from Manchester City]," said De Boer. "That says I am not a bad manager, in virtually any case." Giving an answer to reports of growing unrest at the Amsterdam Arena because of the club's frustrating exchange plan, De Boer added: "I am happy with how it goes here [at Ajax]. "I know you can not only get players and so I stand by the club's policies."
