Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon is being linked with a return to the Northwest - at Manchester City.

The former Manchester United supremo is now being seen as a possible replacement for Garry Cook, who irritated City's Abu Dhabi owners with his ridiculed role in the Kaka transfer fiasco, says the Daily Mail.

Kenyon's future at Chelsea must be in doubt after his lack of involvement in the Luiz Felipe Scolari sacking, which owner Roman Abramovich carried out himself.
