Champions: The Inside Story of Our Historic 19th league Title Triumph

by MUFC

In this official account of Manchester United's 19th title-winning season, the players bring you inside the dressing room to hear about reaching the Champion's League final and every moment of their Premier League campaign. Manchester United began the 2010-11 season with the longest unbeaten start to a campaign in all competitions in their history, though they also had a couple of surprising slip-ups, dropping points late in matches. However, Dimitar Berbatov was banging in the goals, and Nani was flying down the wing. New arrivals Bebe, Javier Hernandez and Chris Smalling all made early impacts for the Reds. Meanwhile, the negotiations for Wayne Rooney's new contract were played out over the front pages. All this really proved, once again, was that United remained the biggest story in sport.

So much, so familiar for Sir Alex Ferguson (who entered his 25thyear as manager of the club), who knows all about the pressures of being in charge at the biggest club of them all and making sure that his charges deliver where it really on the pitch. With in-depth contributions from the key members of the squad, and the backroom staff, this book is the definitive account of United's record-breaking 19th league title season.

[Craig · Rating 3 out of 5]

Surprisingly readable, considering it's cobbled together from the various Man Utd outlets. That readability doesn't change the fact that it's essentially match report reprints and although the team and the players receive some refreshingly honest criticism there's a hint of Pravda about the book's treatment of Sir Alex Ferguson (decisions he "quite rightfully" makes, frequent mentions of his smiling replies and silence on his various tantrums and rages) Even David Gill and the Glazers get some positive words!
