Kings of the World 2005-2008 – The definitive story of how Manchester United conquered club football

It is New Year's Eve and Manchester United are in a state of limbo. Legendary captain Roy Keane has left the club, the defence is in need of an overhaul, key midfielder Paul Scholes has been ruled out for the season with an eye problem, and United sit 11 points adrift of Jose Mourinho's dominant Premier League champions, Chelsea. It's also the Red's longest run without a title since the early '90s.

But Sir Alex Ferguson has a plan. A plan to rebuild his team. A plan to shape it around two rising stars. A plan to take what would become his third great United side to the summit of the world game. What follows is a period of true Reds domination, as Ferguson empowers young superstars Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo to achieve greatness. Combining them with shrewd signings and experienced heads to realise his latest vision.

Kings of the World is the official story of that glorious comeback – a tale like no other: an era as good as any in United's history. Sir Alex creates a thrilling new side, leading them to victory in England, then Europe and finally… the world.

Spanning the epic period between 2005 and 2008, it's a story expertly told by Joe Ganley and Steve Bartram, two diehard Old Trafford matchgoers who witnessed every kick. Published in 2026.
