MANCHESTER might be home to two of world football's biggest clubs.
But while plenty of players are in love with the city, some of their Wags are not.

Known for its wet and windy conditions, it's fair to say Manchester does not have the best reputation for living la vida loca.
There are no golden beaches or snow-capped mountains in sight, while you're more likely to need an umbrella than sunglasses.
Antony's partner Rosilene Silva has become the latest Wag to join the party after the forward's summer move from Ajax.
But three prominent partners have fired her a warning by loudly speaking out against living in Manchester.
David de Gea's partner Edurne Garcia might be a keeper, but she was the first to slam the city.
Speaking in 2015, she said Manchester was "not very nice" before agreeing that it was "uglier than a fridge from behind."
Pop star Edurne added: "It's not very pretty, that's the truth. You have to hunt for the good spots.
"But even then, Spain is nicer. But David's changed everything, with him everything looks wonderful."
Meanwhile, Ilkay Gundogan's wife Sara Arfaoui cooked up a social media storm this month.
That's after she blasted the food in Manchester, calling it "HORRIBLE."
Sara wrote on social media: "Sorry I'm sad to be honest but nothing. I tried so bad to find a good restaurant but.
"Horrible food everywhere, can't find a real Italian or good sushi or just fresh food.
"Everything frozen. Restaurants here are focused on making money with drinks and shots like night clubs, not quality food.
"Maybe in London but in Manchester nothing. I'm sorry."
Finally, Angel Di Maria's wife Jorgelina Cardosa claimed the city was far from heavenly, describing the locals as "WEIRD."
Reflecting on Di Maria's brief stint at United, Jorgelina said in August: "I didn't want to go, I told him to go alone.
"We travelled to Manchester on vacation for a year. It was always horrible!
"We came home and I said: 'If you're ever transferred, make sure it's anywhere in the world but England.'
"I didn't like it at all… I can tell you. People are all weird. You walk around and you don't know if they're going to kill you.
"The food is disgusting. The women look like porcelain.
"Angel and I were in Madrid, at the best team in the world, perfect food, perfect weather, everything was perfect. And then came United's proposal…
"I told him 'no way, no way', but he kept saying we will be a little more financially secure and we have to go. We fought about it.
"It was horrible, so horrible. I just told him, 'Darling, I want to kill myself, it's night time at two o'clock.'"
