Manchester City are aiming to trump Manchester United in a World Cup battle.
The News of the World says City have risked infuriating rivals United by pinching the World Cup semi-final from Old Trafford in 2018.
City chief executive Garry Cook outlined his amazing proposal while he schmoozed FIFA delegates during their 2018 visit.
Despite denials from City officials last year, the club are planning to increase stadium capacity to 75,000.
