“Oh, Thanks for the reply, but is Manchester reputable and will it’s Masters be recogonized worldwide?”

Not really. It’s well respect in the UK and maybe western Europe, but few British universities (excluding Oxbridge and maybe LSE) are recognized worldwide (US, Asia, Latin America, etc.). If you are interested in science/engineering, definitely opt for UIUC IMO; you will most likely get a job if you do well, and a green card a few years after that.
