Manchester is well-known for being a city of sport. Two Premiership football clubs bear the city's name, Manchester City and Manchester United.
Manchester City's ground is at the City of Manchester Stadium (48,000 capacity); Manchester United's Old Trafford ground, the largest club football ground in the United Kingdom, with a capacity of 76,000, and England's only UEFA-rated 5-star stadium, is just outside the city, in the borough of Trafford. Lancashire County Cricket Club's ground is also in Trafford.
Premier League champions Manchester United have the widest football club fanbase in the world, while Manchester City is the richest football club in the world, thanks to its wealthy owners.

What a load of rubbish!
Since when has Macclesfield been in Greater Manchester?
That stuff the City fan says, what bitter twaddle! They only say that stuff to outsiders as everyone in Manchester knows it's not true. United have always had greater numbers of Mancunian supporters than they have, going back to the time after the war when we played at their ground for three years! Fair enough, most of our support come from the other side of the world, but that's simple maths - there are only 2.5m people in Greater Manchester!
By the way, I'm from Ashton-Under-Lyne and it is certainly not overrun by blues, either - like most other places this side of town, it's pretty evenly split (although most people I know are reds).
Also: "The Majestic Arndale Centre"! As if there's nothing more to the city than that eyesore!
