Read our privacy policy The city of Manchester is ‘buzzing’ because of the return of Cristiano Ronaldo, according to former United player Gary Neville. He said on the Gary Neville Podcast: “I walked out into Manchester’s city centre on Saturday morning and I’ve not seen it as alive for five or 10 years. And, Salford scored in the last minute which meant it was the perfect football day.” Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer similarly noted the positivity, saying: “The atmosphere has been electric around the club, the supporters have really enjoyed the last 10 days or so since he signed.” Against the backdrop of that euphoria, the feminist campaign group Level Up flew a banner over United’s home ground which read ‘#believe Kathryn Mayorga’.
