No club in the world stirs the emotions quite like United. From humble beginnings, the club has risen, through the tragedy of Munich, the glory of 1968 and the ultimate achievement of the incomparable Treble, to its current position as the world’s greatest football club. The United story has never been told before in such depth, with so much stunning imagery, and certainly never on such an extraordinary scale.
A selection of Britain’s finest sports writers have contributed over 400,000 words to this definitive 850-page volume, ensuring unmatched originality and quality of content. Furthermore, with over 2,000 images, many rare or previously unpublished, plus specially-commissioned shoots by some of the industry’s most highly-regarded photographers, the Opus brings the colourful history of United to vivid life.
