Speaking about his visit, the Reds defender said: “Manchester is a city with a strong sense of community and compassion. I have lived here for over six years now and I’m proud to call this city my home.
“Unfortunately, homelessness is on the rise; as a family we want to raise awareness and also directly help people wherever we can. Christmas can be a difficult time for many, and Lifeshare’s work ensures that no one is forgotten.
“The volunteers that I have met here today are really inspirational; I’m really grateful that I was able to spend time with them and play a small part in helping to deliver such vital work for the people that they support.”
