No club in the world stirs the emotions quite like Manchester United. From humble beginnings, the club has risen, through the tragedy of Munich, the glory of 1968 and the ultimate achievement of the incomparable Treble, to its current position as the world's greatest football club. The United story has never been told before in such depth, with so much stunning imagery, and certainly never on such an extraordinary scale.
Published in November 2006, the United Opus Limited Edition is strictly restricted to 9,500 copies worldwide. The Icons Edition has a print run of just 500 copies.
The United Opus is 850 pages long, each page measuring half a metre square. There are also three special gatefolds that unfold to an visually stunning two metres in width.
Weighing in at 37 kilos the United Opus is the biggest football book ever produced.
