Emergency services rushed to Hampden Crescent in the Gorton area on Monday night (07 October), where a 19-year-old man was found injured.
He was taken to hospital with what are described as "serious" but not "life-threatening" injuries.
Police are questioning a 15-year-old boy and a 21-year-old man, confirming they believe this to be a targeted attack.
