The vision, which was set out at an event in the city centre, detailed how Manchester is setting its sights on a new era of economic growth, on the way to becoming a second city to rival any other on the planet by 2050.

Included in the Mayor’s speech was the appointment of Lord Sebastian Coe as the Chair-Designate of the Mayoral Development Corporation (MDC) for the Old Trafford Regeneration project.

Lord Coe previously led the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force – a multi-stakeholder group set up by the club with the objective of exploring options for developing a world-class football stadium and regenerating the surrounding area.
