The M.E.N is the UK’s biggest regional news brand, reaching more readers than any other publisher across our print and digital platforms. The newspaper has been a staple part of life in the city for over 150 years, with generations of families brought up on our unrivalled news and sports coverage.

We’ve been alongside you through triumph and tragedy, always fighting for our region and giving you a powerful voice.

During the Coronavirus pandemic, we’ve kept you right at the heart of developments for our region and we’ve supplied you with carefully-researched and responsible content throughout.

As the biggest trusted news brand outside London, we play a special role in ensuring our voice is heard loud and clear - but we couldn’t do that without your support.

We’re also here to entertain and delight and that’s probably never been more important as we enter a difficult winter - but with real hope in sight for a better 2021.

We’re blessed to be in a city with two of the biggest football clubs on the planet. That means we’re never short of an opinion or two on the beautiful game. After all, we’ve been there to cover every minute of every game ever played by United and City - so we like to think we’ve earned the right.

Thanks for your support and please take advantage of our special offer today!
