To all Man United fans I highly recommend Wayne Barton's book "Football taught by Matt Busby" I get a real feel for the history of our great club-learning about early struggles as a club I've reached the point where Matt arrived as manager in 1945 & won the FA Cup 4-2 against Blackpool in 1948

Denis Law. The first and original King of Old Trafford. The first @ManUtd player to win the European Player of the Year award. One of the most important players in United’s history. A significant loss for the United family and for football.
