Manchester City have made a cheeky move for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

The Mail on Sunday says current manager Mark Hughes is believed to have until the end of the season to convince Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed, of Abu Dhabi's ruling family, that he is the man to satisfy their lofty football ambitions.

Discreet soundings have already been made in the direction of Arsenal manager Wenger, but he has made it known that he would not be interested in switching to another Premier League club.
