Books on Modern Day Manchester United

	The Story of the Season: The Players' Own Account of the Dramatic Campaign in 2007-8
	By Manchester United	Publishers Orion	2008
	Since the start of the Premier League era one club more than any other has dominated: Manchester United. In 2007-08, having won the title the previous season, United went in search of even greater things, bringing in new talent such as Anderson, Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Carlos Tevez to back up established stars such as Ferdinand, Giggs, Ronaldo and Rooney. Once the new players bedded in, United went on a great run of success, with the goals flying in from all corners and the defence proving to be their best ever in the top division. They surged back up to the top of the table during a fabulous autumn that had Sir Alex claiming it could be 'the strongest squad' he'd had in over 21 years at Old Trafford. The Premier League title was secured on the last day of the season, with the final goal coming from Ryan Giggs on the day he equalled Bobby Chalrton's appearance record for the club. In this fascinating and revealing insight into the club, all the key figures relive the highlights of their season and explain what really went on behind the scenes to create a wonderful and enduring account of the most important events in the campaign that climaxed with the Champions League final in Moscow, when everything hinged on a tense penalty shoot-out before United finally overcame Chelsea to become European champions for the third time.

	The Official Manchester United Almanac
	By John White	Publishers Orion	2008
	In a handy day-by-day format, John White tells the story of Manchester United so fans can go to any day of the year and look up what events happened on that day in years gone by - even on 29 February we learn that in 1972, Martin Buchan became United's then record signing when he joined from Aberdeen. This book is sure to be one for trivia fans everywhere for, as Sir Alex Ferguson says in his Foreword: 'Just opening the book at any page really takes you on a tour of the history and mystique that universally attracts and surrounds Manchester United. Like any good book John has not missed a thing because he has taken the time to painstakingly research all there is to know about events in the history of the club.' So from the time United fought off bankruptcy, through to winning the Treble in 1999, it is all here in the fascinating account of the best and worst days for United.

	The Official Manchester United Story of the Season 2006-2007
	By Manchester United	Publishers Orion	2007
	The players' revealing account of United's dramatic title-winning campaign in 2006-07. Michael Carrick talks about his excitement at joining United, Ryan Giggs reflects on 700 games for United and Louis Saha relishes the opportunities as the Reds' main goal threat - these are just a few of the fascinating stories revealed in this brilliant account of United's wonderful title-winning 2006-07 campaign. The reader learns from the players just what it is like to score the winning goal in a crucial game, or how they cope with the frustration of injury problems. Sir Alex Ferguson, who reached the landmark of 20 years as manager in November 2006, talks about his hopes and targets for the future and how the club will continue to improve and grow, and meet the competition from United's greatest rivals. Without doubt, his ninth title was one of his greatest managerial achievements, and established United once again as the best club in the country. This is the definitive account of United's year as told by those who really know what happened. Released August 22nd 2007 in harback.

	Manchester DisUnited and the Business of Soccer
	By Mihir Bose	Publishers Aurum Press Ltd.	2007
	Manchester United is the most valuable soccer brand in the world - globally huge as far as the Far East: the world's richest club, with the highest turnover, the biggest profits, the widest fan base and, over recent years, the best players and the greatest success on the field. But recently the business has hit vicissitudes and even crisis. Its star player, David Beckham, was sold to Real Madrid in Spain. Its record buy, the prodigiously talented young Wayne Rooney, has developed an unenviable disciplinary record. This year the club - a listed Stock Exchange plc - succumbed to a controversial takeover by Malcolm Glazer, the American tycoon who bought the football team in Tampa and turned them into champions. Now their shirt sponsors, Vodafone, are withdrawing their support, Manchester United have just been eliminated from the Champions' League and all prospect of European football for the first time in a decade, the high-spending Chelsea have usurped their position at the top of the Premiership, and even their hallowed manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, is finding his position under question. Now Mihir Bose tells the full story of this extraordinary financial behemoth of sport. Released in hardback in February 2007.
