As someone in Northern Ireland, I've always been aware of Leeds but it took me by surprise too to learn how big/significant it is compared to cities like Manchester and Sheffield, which I'd always presumed were magnitudes larger.
Yeah technically, but I usually go off a city being one continuous metro area without fields / rural stuff in between. So for Manchester that would pretty much be everything inside the m60, so still quite a bit larger
