I grew up listening to the roar from Old Trafford during Matt Busby’s managerial swansong. This was a place of docks and warehouses, and Railway Road marked the point where houses ended and industry began. On this quiet afternoon with the tourists gone it felt as though Manchester had temporarily got its property back.
