A man who was arrested on suspicion of murder after a fatal crash on Deansgate has been released under investigation.
The murder probe was launched after the victim, aged in his 20s, was hit by an Audi A3 just before 3am on Sunday morning (November 21).
He tragically died at the scene.
The Audi fled the scene and was later found in Lancashire.

Two teenagers, aged 15 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of murder but were released pending further enquiries.
A 24-year-old man was then also arrested on suspicion of murder after handing himself in at a police station on Monday night.
Police said today (Thursday) that he has since been released under investigation.
Officers previously said that early enquiries suggest the victim might have been involved in an altercation with the people in the Audi just before the crash.
After the incident, Superintendent Arif Nawaz, of GMP's City of Manchester division, said the victim's family were 'understandably devastated'.
He said they would 'get the answers they rightly deserve'.
A police cordon was in place along Deansgate for most of the day on Sunday as investigations were carried out.
The road was taped off between Peter Street and John Dalton Street.
A forensic tent was in place and crime scene investigators were pictured at the scene.
Anyone who witnessed the incident, or anyone who has dash cam footage of it, is being urged to get in touch with the police.
