The Italian is facing intense scrutiny as he has taken as many points as Mark Hughes did from his first 13 games last season, leading to the Welshman’s dismissal.
Unlike Hughes, Mancini at least has the comfort of being able to point to City’s position in the top four currently, and he believes they will still be there at the end. “We are in fourth position, three points behind United but we must check at the end of the season. At the end of the season I think we will get into the Champions League and probably we will win something.”
