The city of Manchester is one borough in a collection of boroughs- all pretty much joined together- which make up the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester. The Metropolitan County has a population of around 2 1/2 million.
Ohhh... similar then! Chicago has many connected suburbs... not boroughs but still connected. I have no idea of the complete population of that whole area. You haven't been to Chicago?
I definitely have not been to Manchester... would love to visit though!

I just looked them up because I could not picture Manchester being near the size of Chicago
