Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is a SHOCK target for Manchester City.
The People says Benitez is a shock target for Manchester City - with the club's Abu Dhabi backers watching his Liverpool contract stand-off closely.
City's trillionaire Arab owners are lining up a big-name manager as they consider sacking Mark Hughes, under more pressure after City's shock 1-0 defeat by ten-man Stoke.
Their interest comes after Benitez halted his contract talks. He wants full control over Liverpool's transfer dealings in his power struggle with chief executive Rick Parry.
Benitez is one of THREE managers under review by City's owners.
Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho and Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari are the others on City's list.
