Roberto Mancini believes Mario Balotelli will stay at Manchester City as he has a big admirer in owner Sheikh Mansour, but has warned the striker to improve his attitude.

Balotelli is currently recovering from a virus which is likely to rule him out of the New Year's Day clash at home to Stoke but Mancini says he could be named as a substitute. He added: "Mario feels better now. He's restarted training and against Stoke City he could go on the bench. "Otherwise he could play against Watford (in the FA Cup) on January 5th."
