100 ICONIC MANCHESTER UNITED PICTURES
We've delved into our picture archive to bring you 100
iconic images from Manchester United's illustrious history. Sir Alex Ferguson
has been one of the main protagonists in the history of the Reds, and has been
part of some of their most momentous occasions - but he's only part of the
club's 140 years of history. There are shots of Sir Matt Busby, George Best and
Sir Bobby Charlton and modern-day heroes including Fergie, Cristiano Ronaldo,
Eric Cantona and Wayne Rooney. The images capture scenes of celebration from
United's many triumphs domestically, in Europe and on the world stage - as well
as triumphant homecomings attracting hundreds of thousands of fans in
Manchester. And there are a few candid shots from off the pitch that should
make you smile and maybe reminisce a little. Scroll through our gallery below:
