"It is really sad," one neighbour told the Manchester Evening News. "It's normally quiet around here, we're a friendly neighbourhood."
He said reports suggested the victim was 'chased' down the street before he was stabbed. The M.E.N understands that the attack is believed to have been targeted.
Another said he saw 'several' ambulances round the back of one of the properties. "I went to take my dog for a walk and when I came back there were lots of police on the street," he added.
"I could tell something really severe had happened." Other residents reacted with sadness and dismay over the tragic incident.
"It was a shock," one said. "I've lived here for 20 years and never seen anything like this. It's just incredibly sad."

Police say they have stepped up a 'visible presence' of officers in the area and are urging anyone with any information to get in touch.
