They’re bitter rivals on the pitch, but neighboring Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City have come together to donate £1 million ($1.3 million) to an emergency fund set up following Monday’s terror attack in the city.
“We have all been humbled by the strength and solidarity shown by the people of Manchester in the days since the attack,” said Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak. “The hope of both our clubs is that our donation will go some small way to alleviate the daunting challenges faced by those directly affected and that our acting together will serve as a symbol to the world of the unbreakable strength of the spirit of Manchester.
