Footage has emerged of Morrissey criticising Manchester mayoral candidate Andy Burnham at a concert on Saturday.

The video, captured at Manchester Arena, shows the singer taking the opportunity in between songs to discuss Burnham's candidacy.

"He's very nice, he's from Liverpool and nobody asked for my opinion, did they ask for yours? I was just wondering why they didn't find somebody from Manchester," he said.

According to local reports, the former Smiths frontman had earlier declared, "I am the new Lord Mayor of Manchester."
