Cut from the Man City football squad? (7)

I believe the answer is:

norwich

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cut from the man city' is the definition.
'norwich' can be an answer for 'city' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'cut from the man' bit.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for norwich that I've seen before include "County town of Norfolk" , "County town in E. Anglia" , "City on the River Wensum" , "E. Anglian county town" , "Administrative centre of Norfolk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times.
