Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is backing Mario Balotelli to rattle FA Cup semifinal opponents Manchester United this weekend.
Hart believes there is a potential City hero in the outwardly sulky frontman.
Hart said: "I've got a lot of time for Mario. I think people forget that he is 20 and has an awful lot on his plate.
"He'll appreciate that sometimes he doesn't handle situations great. But he wasn't born a great public speaker or a great person that acts under pressure. He was born a great footballer and that can never be questioned."
