The city of Manchester is one of the top short break destinations in the UK and no wonder. This vibrant city offers its visitors an endless selection of things to do, place's to visit and most famously, football.
This city has been blessed with two massive football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City. Manchester united is the more famous of the two but City are now closing the gap on their rivals, quickly.
The team who play in sky blue where bought by a Trillion dollar Sheikh called - Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The Sheikh is so wealthy he makes Roman Abramovich's fortune look like pocket money, and he is not afraid to spend it either.
The Man City club has spent big over the last couple of seasons and have now just appointed a new manager - Reberto Mancini. Across the city there arch rivals have had a grip on the Premier League (never mind Manchester) for roughly the last 20 years now.
Since Alex Ferguson took the helm of the club who were struggling at the time. Manchester United is now one of the biggest and richest clubs in the world of football.
They have won the Premier League Title 11 times since it started back in 1993. Not bad out of 16 seasons. Manchester United have also won the Champions League on two occasions since Sir Alex Ferguson has been in charge and once back in 1968.
Chairman and clubs have through a lot of money away trying to loosen United's grip on the Premier League but no one has successfully managed to do that for more than one season. I have a feeling this battle is about to become more even in the near future.
