The 77-year-old's surname has not been given by the force. GMP describes Michael as white, 5ft 8ins tall, with grey hair and grey stubble.

He was last seen wearing a black jacket, a blue checked shirt and jeans. He was also wearing black shoes, and a black cap with a large 'S' on it and the word 'Starter'.

Police have released two photos of Michael alongside an urgent appeal to find him. One appears to be from a doorbell camera which shows him close-up with the cap he was last seen wearing.

A GMP spokesperson said: "Officers are becoming increasingly concerned and want to make sure Michael is safe and well." Anyone who sees Michael or has information on his whereabouts is urged to call GMP on 101, quoting log 360 of June 6, 2024. In an emergency situation, dial 999.
