Manchester City hero Rodney Marsh believes manager Manuel Pellegrini is on borrowed time.

Marsh can see a new boss being appointed in the summer if he does not oversee a strong finish to the season.

"I can see a new manager, particularly if they drop out of the top two," Marsh told the Mirror.

"Obviously they got stuffed in the Champions League, and Pellegrini looks to me as though he's stitching the team together with Band-Aids all over the field. I can see Pellegrini being sacked in the summer."
