Inside the Evolution

It's 1 January 2006 and Manchester United are in a state of limbo. Legendary captain Roy Keane has left the club, the defence is need of an overhaul, key midfielder Paul Scholes has been ruled out for the season with an eye problem, and United sit nine points adrift Jose Mourinho's dominant Premier League champions, Chelsea. It's also the club'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 - combing them with shred signings and experienced heads to realise his latest vision. Inside the Evolution is the official inside story of that glorious comeback tale like no other: an era of true Reds' domination. Spanning the glorious period between 2006 and 2008, it's a story expertly told by two diehard Old Trafford chroniclers who witnessed every kick.
