Manchester City are ready to stand by manager Roberto Mancini.
The Sun says Mancini has the full support of new City chief executive Ferran Soriano and sporting director Txiki Begiristain.
The trio have already been making plans for next season to significantly strengthen the squad in a bid to get the title back from rivals United.
Most importantly, chairman Khaldoon Al Mubaraak still backs the man he chose to replace Mark Hughes in December 2009.
