Description

The story of how Manchester United conquered all, by the players who won everything
The Champions League, the Club World Cup, 6 Premier League Titles, 1 FA Cup, 3 League Cups and 4 Community Shields and one legendary manager from Rio to Rome, 2000-2010

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.

Reviews

'Bring On United is a must-read for any Red who wants to relive the glory days of the noughties. The players stories are raw, honest and full of passion. It captures the era perfectly. Andy has done it again.' Mark Chapman

'Andy Mitten is easily the best and most important writer about Manchester United around. He constantly tells you stuff you didn't know, stuff that matters. This book is no exception. He has extracted brilliant tales from the men who were right at the heart of the club through the noughties. If you want to know the real story of modern United there is only one place to start. Here.' Jim White, author of Red on Red: Liverpool, Manchester United and the Fiercest Rivalry in World Football

'United's players treat Andy Mitten like he's one of their own; they trust him, and Mitten has the knack of getting them to open up in a way no other football journalist can. For United fans wondering whether the glory years will ever return, Bring On United is the next best thing a chance to relive the golden age with memories and dressing-room gossip from the legends who made it all happen.' Michael Crick, author of The Boss: The Many Sides of Alex Ferguson
