The Story of Our Season: The Official Manchester United Player's Diary 2009-10

In this fascinating insider account of the season, all the key players reveal what were the most important turning points of the 2009 campaign and what goes on behind the scenes at Carrington to help build such a strong team spirit. When United set out in August 2009 to secure a record fourth successive league title and to avenge their Champions League final defeat, they did so without their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sold to Real Madrid for a world-record transfer fee. It was an opportunity for the rest of the squad to step up, and for the new signings?Antonio Valencia and Michael Owen?to show how they could bring something new to the team. By the end of January, United were already through to the Champions League knockout stages, handily placed just behind early pacesetters Chelsea in the Premier League and into the final of the Carling Cup. The entire 2009 season is detailed in this must-have book for any Manchester United fan.
