Pressure mounts for Mancini

Nigel de Jong has admitted coach Roberto Mancini is under pressure as Manchester City’s title bid has come off the rails in recent weeks.

City take on West Brom tonight having only picked up five points from their last five games and have slipped eight points behind Manchester United with just six matches left to play.

Mancini has one year left on his contract and is set to have talks over his future next month. But Dutch midfielder De Jong has claimed that Mancini may be in for a rough ride from his bosses.
