Old Manchester United in Colour

Trawling through the archives, the book brings together iconic and rarely seen black-and-white photographs and expertly colourises them, showing scenes just as they would have been witnessed first-hand at the time.

The collaboration between the club and colourisation expert Andy Imrie, also known as AndythephotoDr on social media platforms, charts the rise of Manchester United from a team of railway workers to the biggest name in football through over 200 stunning images.

From the carriage work sheds of Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway to Sir Matt Busby leading the team to become the greatest club side in Europe, the book breathes new life into the Reds' epic history.
