Last year, Manchester United's official supporters' club in Germany celebrated its 40-year anniversary. To mark the occasion, the branch was invited to attend the recent 3-0 win over West Ham United as special guests.

It's been quite a journey for the group, which started life as the Kreyfeld Reds back in 1983.

In the 21st century, it became our official German branch, changing its name to United Devils Germany, after merging with members of another pre-existing fan group within the country.

Ahead of the visit to Old Trafford – where a delegation from the supporters' club enjoyed a pitchside reception with four-time Premier League winner Gary Pallister – chairman John McFayden explained that there was a general fascination with English football in Germany, even with the strength of the native Bundesliga.
