Manchester United—the world’s most popular soccer club—traces its colorful story back to 1878, when it was founded by a group of English railway workers. This official history follows United’s amazing journey from that humble beginning through the golden Edwardian era, the Munich Air Disaster of 1958, the 1968 European Cup triumph, and the team’s recent successes, including eight League titles and a unique Treble in 1999, when the team won the League, the FA Cup, and the Champions League. There are hundreds of superb photographs, interviews with leading players, and results and scorers for every game.

Bought this for my nephew's birthday and he just loved it. He is seventeen and found this to be a wonderful guide. He said he learned an awful lot about his favorite soccer team and really enjoyed the high quality pictures. It's very hard to impress a teenager but this did the trick!
