Detective Inspector Stuart Woodhead, of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said: “Last night we received reports that a man had been assaulted outside the Asda on Old Church Street in Newton Heath and left seriously injured.

“He was taken to hospital where he was confirmed to have suffered a fractured skull and a bleed on the brain during what must have been a vicious attack. He remains in hospital today in a critical condition, and we have officers conducting enquiries at the scene and in the nearby area so residents may notice an increased police presence.

“I want to appeal to anyone who may have information about the disturbance to please come forward.”
