MILAN (Reuters) - The son of Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini has joined Manchester City, the Serie A leaders said on Thursday.

Filippo, 17, made his debut for Inter earlier this month in an Italian Cup match against Reggina.

Inter's Web site (www.inter.it) said the midfielder/forward had gone to the Premier League club with media reports saying the move was a loan.

Roberto Mancini played under City boss Sven Goran Eriksson at Sampdoria and Lazio.
