How Manchester United conquered all, by the players who won everything With a foreword by Manchester United interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy

The Champions League, the Club World Cup, 6 Premier League Titles, 1 FA Cup, 3 League Cups, 4 Community Shields, 1 legendary manager.

From Rio to Rome, 2000-2010

This is the story of one of the greatest eras in the history of England’s most successful club, told through the eyes of the players who made it happen. Not just the big wins, the cup finals and the trophy parades, but the half-time rows, the mad pranks, the boozy nights out and the training-ground bust-ups.

Andy Mitten has tracked down eleven of the stars from those Premier League and Champions League winning teams to open the door to both the dressing room and the boardroom at Old Trafford as the club cemented its status as the dominant force in English football.

Bring on United is an astonishingly candid and revealing insight into the workings of a relentless winning machine. More than that, it’s as lively and entertaining a sports book as you’ll ever read.

Featuring exclusive interviews with Nemanja Vidi , Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Patrice Evra, Gary Neville, Dimitar Berbatov, Jaap Stam, John O’Shea, Wes Brown, Dwight Yorke, Diego Forlán and Ryan Giggs.

Reviews for Bring on United: Ferguson’S Golden Generation in Their Own Words

'Bring On United is a must-read for any Red who wants to relive the glory days of the noughties. The players’ stories are raw, honest and full of passion. It captures the era perfectly. Andy has done it again.' Mark Chapman 'Andy Mitten is easily the best and most important writer about Manchester United around. He has extracted brilliant tales from the men who were right at the heart of the club through the noughties. If you want to know the real story of modern United there is only one place to start. Here.' Jim White 'United's players treat Andy Mitten like he's one of their own; they trust him, and Mitten has the knack of getting them to open up in a way no other football journalist can. Bring On United is a chance to relive the golden age with memories and dressing-room gossip from the legends who made it all happen.' Michael Crick 'Andy has a unique ability to get under the skin of Manchester United. His interviews with key figures in a thrilling decade for the club draw out fascinating new details on how that success was possible, and allow your mind to dance again amid the trophies.' Laurie Whitwell 'A brilliant insight into a fascinating decade in the life of the club. Andy Mitten once again shows why he's one of the most trusted and respected authorities on Manchester United. I loved it.' John Bradley 'No one writes about Manchester United like Andy; you can feel the passion on every page. He has outdone himself getting some of the key figures from United's golden age to explain those ""you had to be there"" moments. You'll be grinning from ear to ear.' Carl Anka 'Captivating. It's a testament to Mitten's standing as both a respected journalist and talisman for the match-going support that players were willing to speak to him so candidly and nakedly about their experiences. These are deeply human stories of sometimes flawed and often complicated individuals who came together to become heroes.' Nooruddean Choudry
