Incredible video shows how far Manchester's new arena has come on - with it set to open in just over a year

Amazing new footage has revealed just how much of Manchester’s new 23,000 seat arena has been built.

The footage, shared last week by Co-op Live, shows a timelapse of construction at the site, which is next door to the Etihad football stadium. The new arena promises to be the UK’s largest indoor venue, and will boast 32 bars and restaurants alongside a ‘big sweaty hall’ .
