Mario Balotelli "happy" to have left England

AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli has revealed that he is happy to have left England.

The Italy international parted company with Manchester City in January, having joined the Premier League club from Inter Milan in the summer of 2010.

"Yes," he told CNN when asked if he was unfairly treated in England. "But I'm not here to talk about if I'm unfairly treated. I don't care.

"I'm out from England, I'm happy that I'm out from England. That's it. I'm really happy now.

"I have my family near me and my friends. I can relax and find my privacy, more than in England, where I was alone."

Balotelli has scored 11 goals in 12 Serie A appearances for Milan so far.
