UK Back Pages: Jose Mourinho Backs Under-Fire City Boss Manuel Pellegrini

A surprising voice has come in to support under-fire Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini: Jose Mourinho. 

Mourinho's Chelsea fought off City's brief title challenge, and now the Citizens are fighting to keep their place in the top four with Liverpool chasing. 

Mourinho is now urging that Manchester City keep the Chilean manager in The Sun. 

It also reports that Liverpool are chasing Chelsea No. 2 goalkeeper Petr Cech:
