Sweet present delights under-pressure Roberto Mancini Megan Kinghorn decided to give him the sweets after she noticed him munching a packet on the touchline at the Etihad Stadium - and the City boss wrote a letter back to thank her, complete with a signed photograph. Mancini even revealed he had pinned up a letter Megan wrote to him on the club's noticeboard. Megan's mother Kirsty, 39, said: "We had a running joke in the house that whenever City were on the telly Mancini and his assistant Brian Kidd always seemed to be eating sweets. During one match we spotted what looked like a packet of Fruit Pastilles. Megan said she was going to buy some with her pocket money and sent them to him. We went to Asda, got a four-pack and she wrote a letter and sent it to him. She thinks he's wonderful. Mancini has his hands full trying to catch league rivals Manchester United and handle mercurial striker Mario Balotelli but took the time to reply to her, writing: "Dear Megan, How surprised and happy I was to receive some Fruit Pastilles from you the other week. I am afraid Brian and I have eaten them all!! You also took the trouble to write me a beautiful letter which I have pinned up on my office noticeboard. I am sending you a picture of me which I hope you like and also a picture of the team. I am glad we have great supporters like you. I hope you enjoy the rest of the season. Megan's mother said the family would frame the letter and added: "We think it's lovely of him to do this considering how busy he must be." The little girl said: "I sent them because I am a big City fan and I love Roberto and I wanted to send him something to cheer him up because he has a really tough job."
