Rebuilding Manchester United : The DNA and Future of the World's Greatest Football Club Hardback

Manchester United are one of the biggest teams in the world. However at times – and including in the current era – they have also found themselves in transition, having to build to regain the success the club and its fans expect.

Rebuilding Manchester United delivers a timely and compelling study of the club’s often illustrious, sometimes underachieving and occasionally calamitous history to reveal the United DNA and how that understanding can help deliver a bright future. Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson are colossal figures in Manchester United’s history.

They took their respective teams to European glory and serial success in domestic competitions.

This book explores how both managers not only successfully rebuilt the teams they inherited but, in time, rebuilt those sides again.

It also looks at other United managers who faced similar challenges with varying degrees of success. Through incisive analysis, and interviews with past and present players, this book offers a compelling new perspective on the identity of this famous club that gives United fans both a nostalgic look at the club’s momentous story and analysis of the current situation at Old Trafford.

It considers the characters, triumphs, disappointments and tragedy that fill the club’s history, and provides a fresh take on how a club like Manchester United can not only survive but thrive in the 21st century.
