Mansour today is the main interlocutor between the interests of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, I believe he will be useful while Mohammed bin Rashid is Prime Minister; when Hamdan or Maktoum bin Mohamed takes office, Dhiyab bin Mohamed bin Zayed will be appointed Deputy PM (in a major cabinet reshuffle), he is being groomed for this
My question is whether Abdullah bin Zayed will be Deputy PM at some point, even as a figurehead (as Saif is today - Saif is powerful as Interior Minister, as Deputy Prime Minister he is a figurehead), or will Dhiyab be appointed alongside someone of his generation
the Ministry of the Interior is very important, I believe that MBZ wants this ministry in the hand of one of his sons
Sheikh Mohamed bin Tahnoun bin Mohamed, MBZ's son-in-law, is one of the managing police officers in the Abu Dhabi Police, there is a chance that he will become Minister of the Interior or Commander of the Abu Dhabi Police at some point, his mother (wife of Tahnoun bin Mohamed) is Sheikh Saif's full sister, maybe Saif himself is training him for this
even though Saif is an ally, MBZ wants to establish his lineage and strengthen his son Khalid, the generational change is a natural part of this process

Saif is one of the allies of Mbz, he is quite powerful. He is reported to have participated in spoiling the attempted coup of Hamdan bin Zayed, as per one article.
Don't know about Mansour.
