Redprint by Wayne Barton
In 2013, when legendary boss Sir Alex Ferguson announced his retirement, Manchester United seemed the dream job for any football manager. Champions of England, the biggest and most profitable club in the world. What could possibly go wrong for his successor, who would be appointed with the clear intention of continuing the club's rich tradition? Redprint explores, in forensic detail, the six turbulent years at Old Trafford since Ferguson walked away. Despite record levels of expenditure, a succession of different managers with different philosophies and concerns about the changing identity of the club, United continued to compel throughout this period of underachievement. Wayne Barton examines each of the managerial reigns since 2013 and discusses their successes and failures in a historical and contemporary context to ask the question - are Manchester United closer to regaining their glory, or are they simply repeating mistakes of years gone by?
Redprint is Wayne Barton's 15th published book. Those include ten on Manchester United as both author and ghostwriter for former players. Most recently, his book Too Good To Go Down was made into a film by BT Sport, which Wayne also produced. In 2015 The Independent described him as 'the leading writer on Manchester United'.
