The documentary, then, proceeds to highlight the eventual regrouping and rise of the club led by Busby, which also saw the emergence of club stalwarts like Sir Bobby Charlton and George Best, among others. The documentary largely focusses on the Manchester United sides under two of the club's most influential managers - Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson.Īfter a brief introduction to the club, it narrates the formation of 'Busby Babes' the famous Manchester United side in the 1950s under Busby, and the horrific Munich Air Disaster of 1958 which claimed the lives of eight players and many staff members. It showcases the early days of the club when it was called the 'Newton Heath LYR F.C.', and draws the story of its eventual rechristening as 'Manchester United' in 1902. The 64-minute long documentary directed by Matt Salmon uses rare footages and images which are a collector's delight, and a treasure for Manchester United fans across the world. And so, it only seemed fair that the rich legacy of the club was archived into an hour-long documentary, which traces United's humble beginnings and the gradual rise to glory.
