Manchester's place in the Monopoly World The makers of Monopoly have caused a storm with its new Monopoly board.

The game, which celebrates 75 years, has come up with a new board design where the squares on the board where you charge rent replace London street names with cities and towns in the UK.

The selection was based on a poll that netted nearly a million replies.

Manchester did not do well. It occupies the space originally occupied by Whitehall, one of the lesser prestigious pink coloured squares. However, it beats rival cities Liverpool and Leeds that have achieved the least expensive places including Old Kent Road.

A few weeks ago he was reviled. And now he is a hero, well in Manchester.

It is amazing what 3 weeks does and 9 points.

I thought he was a con artist, but if he can do the double over the rags then he has something.

Of course United were without Rooney and Ronaldo who helped each other get over the defeat in their own particular way.
