Default Good Utd books?

About the club, the history, behind the scenes, even a few autobiographies.

Recommendations please?

But the best book on United I've read is still 'Strange Kind of Glory'. Beautifully written.

'Manchester Disunited' is an interesting account of Glazer takeover.

'There Is Only One United' Geoffrey Green. Excellent book with emphasis on the Busby Babes in Europe.

Another vote for Jim Whites book although I still prefer the quite fantastic 'are you watching liverpool' McClairs odd man out is a cracking read too.

Cheers fellers. Keep 'em coming. I'll pick up the Utd biography and Eamon Dunphys one tomorrow. The scouse one above should be a must read too.

What's Fergie's autobiography like? Not very top red of me but I'm reading Keane's one at the moment for the first time. Pretty engrossing stuff, the drunken foul mouthed @#%&!
