Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EJD0FA - . This Is Manchester mural showing Mainoo 37 and Foden 47 football shirts in Manchester, England, UK. Photographed on 23 May 2026. The recorded location is Manchester city centre, Greater Manchester, England, UK. The artwork depicts two figures from behind wearing red Manchester United and blue Manchester City shirts, representing Kobbie Mainoo and Phil Foden and the city's famous football rivalry. The simple red-versus-blue composition provides an immediately recognisable visual reference to the two major Manchester clubs and can illustrate stories about local football rivalry, England players, fan culture, derby matches, football tourism and the way sporting identity is represented through public and commercial artwork. Within the history of sculpture, public art turns streets and buildings into records of local culture
Murals, statues and memorial sculpture can commemorate people and events, celebrate industry, respond to politics or simply enliven public space, while materials and style often identify a particular era. In relation to club identity, historical context shows that football and major sporting events leave a rich material record through flags, tickets, souvenirs, programmes and venue signage
International tournaments in particular can turn everyday objects into historical evidence of national sporting culture. Against the 2026 backdrop for sculpture, contemporary street art continues to blur the line between unofficial expression, commissioned mural and tourist attraction
Images are therefore relevant to urban culture, creative industries, heritage interpretation and place-making. As of 2026, the position for club identity is that professional sport remains closely tied to broadcast rights, tourism, sponsorship and stadium redevelopment, while supporter experience, policing, ticket prices and transport continue to shape matchday debate. Further subject-specific language includes cultural identity, visual culture, and community art.

The famed mosaic artworks that once adorned Manchester's alternative shopping emporium Afflecks are to return “ with acclaimed Manc artist Mark Kennedy to create a host of new works piece by piece
Mark's mosaic masterpieces of city icons like music impressario Tony Wilson, footballer George Best and Smiths frontman Morrissey became a much-loved city landmark hung on the exterior of Afflecks “ but when the site was taken over by developer Bruntwood in 2008 they were kept by the previous manager.
But now Mark tells The Diary he has been commissioned to create a raft of new mosaics that will once again decorate the arches of the old building that corners a huge site off Oldham Street, Tib Street and Dale Street in the Northern Quarter.
He says: I suppose my artwork is Afflecks, that's what I do, it's what I'm known for. It has been my gallery for the past 12 years or so, so obviously I'm happy to be asked back.
The first, that depicts the famous On The Sixth Day God Created Man...Chester quote, will return this week on the Afflecks Arcade.
And Mark, pictured here in his studio, is now hard at work on the second, an image of labrador Bruce, who the Black Dog Ballroom bar in the basement of Afflecks is named after.
Mark then has plans to create new mosaics of Manc icons, including a special Factory Records piece, to commemorate the label's late, great Tony Wilson, New Order manager Rob Gretton and legendary music producer Martin Hannett, among others

Carlos Alberto T\u00e9vez (born Carlos Alberto Mart\u00ednez
5 February 1984) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for English club Manchester City in the number 32 shirt. He has previously played for Boca Juniors, Corinthians, West Ham United and Manchester United. He transferred to Manchester City from United in the 2009 summer transfer window, becoming the first player to move between the two rival clubs since Terry Cooke in 1999.
His energy and goal scoring rate has since made him an indispensable player for the club in the eyes of fellow players and media alike. He was promoted to captain at the beginning of the 2010\u201311 season by manager Roberto Mancini. In 2011, Tevez sought a transfer away from Manchester, citing family reasons and Sergio Ag\u00fcero was drafted in as a replacement. However he remains a City player after his family moved back to Manchester with manager Roberto Mancini believing T\u00e9vez would stay for the foreseeable future.
