Last night Manchester United inducted their new academy scholars.
They were each given a copy of Football, Taught By Matt Busby.
A book I wrote about the identity of the club being given to the next generation of youth.
Thereโs honestly no greater honour.

In his interview with United We Stand, United CEO Omar Berrada said heโs read Football, Taught By Matt Busby.
Was buzzing to see this. Also a great review of the book in the mag. uwsonline.com/subscribe.php
Happy Fatherโs Day all. Only just realized I hadnโt posted here.
My daughter Ruby was born last Sunday.
I never thought Iโd be a dad, tried for 12 years, so to experience this past week has been the best moment of my life. โฅ๏ธ

On this day in 1902:
Newton Heath play their last-ever game under that name before they become @ManUtd
This is the complete story, including that dramatic match, who actually gave the club their name, and when that change actually happened.

From @waynesbarton.bsky.social book, Football Taught by Matt Busby.
This quote, from over 90 years ago, perfectly sums up how it is to be Red today.
You write a book and you hope people will enjoy it.
You donโt expect reviews like these. What a headline!
No itโs out of print. But in early June itโs coming in paperback!

To all Man United fans I highly recommend Wayne Barton's book "Football taught by Matt Busby"
I get a real feel for the history of our great club-learning about early struggles as a club
I've reached the point where Matt arrived as manager in 1945 & won the FA Cup 4-2 against Blackpool in 1948
FOOTBALL TAUGHT BY MATT BUSBY ...
The unique,, yet simple, wisdom of Sir Matt, perfectly summing up the likes of Edwards, Best, and Cantona โฆ
Love it. Belated birthday wishes ๐๐โฅ๏ธ
