Manchester and Birmingham are relatively equal in most measurements. Birmingham has the largest local authority in the country, but Manchester just pips Birmingham when you consider the entire urban area and not arbitrarily-defined council areas.
I prefer Manchester in any case though. I could never 'like' Birmingham that much - it's an alright city, but I find it less attractive than other UK major cities with poor public realm. Manchester and Birmingham are both dirty though, and that's a major negative.
Is it only me or does Glasgow feel ''bigger'' than Birmingham and Manchester. I was surprised by Birmingham it felt fairly small for its population size.

, it is the second largest city in England, perhaps Manchester is larger when the urban sprawl is taken into consideration
