Police and paramedics were called to Nevin Road in Moston at around 5pm and cordoned off the residential street. A cordon was also put in place yards away around the Fairway Inn pub.
Locals claimed the victim, thought to be aged 13, was stabbed before running while severely injured to a nearby house for help.

A murder investigation has now been launched by detectives at Greater Manchester Police. Three suspects are currently in custody over the incident.
A resident of Nevin Road told the M.E.N about the shocking moment the injured boy ran into the doorway of his home apparently fleeing his attackers and said repeatedly 'I don't want to die'.
"He just came through the door and said 'I've been stabbed'. We sat him down on a chair and phoned an ambulance," he said.
'He just kept saying 'I don't want to die'.'
The resident said onlookers performed CPR on the boy until police arrived at the scene and sealed off the area. The victim's family is currently being supported by specialist officers.
Forensics in white suits also arrived at the scene, with CSI vans parked up on Nevin Road and outside the Fairway Inn pub. An air ambulance was scrambled following the incident, and landed on nearby Nuthurst Park.
A major murder probe has now been launched, with detectives urging witnesses in the area at around 5pm to come forward as they piece together what happened.
