Former Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Corrigan admits manager Roberto Mancini is under pressure.

There is talk Blues manager Roberto Mancini would find his position under scrutiny should the defending champions end the campaign without silverware for the first time in three seasons.

"The owners are reported to be very happy with Mancini, but as we all know you see strange decisions in football with regards to managers, you just don't know," Corrigan said.

"I think the owners are very fair people, and if Manchester City qualify for the Champions League again next year, then a lot will depend on how they do in that next season if they do not win something this year."
