​About The Book

​The Champion’s League, the Club World Cup, 6 Premier League Titles, 1 FA Cup, 3 League Cups and 4 Community Shields … and one legendary manager

​This is the story of one of the greatest eras in the history of England’s greatest club through the eyes of the players who made it happen. Not just the big wins, the cup finals and the trophy parades, but the half-time rows, the mad pranks, the boozy nights out and the training ground bust-ups.

​Andy Mitten has tracked down eleven of the stars from those Premier League and Champions League winning teams to open the door to both the dressing room and boardroom at Old Trafford as the club emerged as the dominant force in English football.

​Bring On United is an astonishingly candid and revealing insight into the workings of English football’s greatest winning machine. More than that, it as lively and entertaining sports book as you’ll ever read.
