(GSM) Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has opened the door for striker Roque Santa Cruz to leave the Eastlands club by admitting the latter deserves to be in a better role than the one he is currently in at the City of Manchester.
The Paraguay international was recently quoted as stating his desire to depart from his City, where he has been restricted to a bench-role.
