Overview

Manchester is not just a city-it's a battlefield of belief, identity, and footballing pride. For over 150 years, Manchester United and Manchester City have stood at opposite ends of the same town, two giants shaping-and being shaped by-the people, politics, and passions of the North. City & United is a definitive, deeply human history of English football's greatest local rivalry. From the soot-covered streets of Victorian industry to the billion-pound squads of the Premier League era, this book charts the rise, fall, and rebirth of both clubs. It tells of Munich and Maine Road, of Ferguson and the Class of '92, of Colin Bell, Sergio Agüero, and Pep's reinvention of the modern game. But this is also the story of a city. Through wars, rebuilds, music, and modernisation, Manchester's spirit shines through every match and memory. With rich storytelling, meticulous detail, and unmatched scope, this is the tale of two clubs forever bound by geography and divided by destiny.
