Home to two of the world’s most famous and recognised football clubs (Manchester United and Manchester City), Manchester is a major city in England. A popular place with an impressive grip over the pop culture, Manchester is a miniature version of United Kingdom itself. This origin of the city goes back to about 79 AD and it got city status in 1853. Known for architecture, culture, musical exports and sports clubs, Manchester happens to be the third most visited city in United Kingdom. The overall aura of Manchester is true to its ancient origin and every aspect of the city reflects an old world glimpse despite the modern developments.
