TRUE Blue supporter Ivan Lewis might have to work hard for the Man Utd vote at the next election!
The Bury South MP has become the official patron of Manchester City FC's City In The Community (CITC) scheme.
But the news is bound to go down well with at least half of his constituents because the Prestwich and Whitefield branch of the City supporters club is one of the largest around.
Mr Lewis is junior minister for young people and adult skills, and praised the project's work with all ages in the areas of sport, education and health.
"As a lifelong City supporter and founder member of the Westminster Supporters Club, I am proud to become patron of CITC," said Mr Lewis on his visit to Maine Road.
"With my interest in learning, I am delighted to see this activity first-hand and hear about all the outstanding work the charity is doing in education across the area."
