I really have no interest in football past or present, but when you are a fan of David Tennant you gain an education in all sorts of things. I found United to be a very moving piece of tv, so much so that I bought this dvd! I was hooked from the beginning and in tears at the end. Great stuff.

I must admit, I didn't think I would be taken with a football drama, considering I don't follow the sport and couldn't be less interested in it. However, after seeing the star-studded cast as well as some new up-and-commers who seemed promising, I decided to try it.
All I can say is that I am very glad I did! Sam Claflin and Jack O' Connell shine as the star football players - Duncan Edwards and Bobby Charlton. David Tennant is, yet again, outstanding as Jimmy Murphy and Dougray Scott truly becomes the character Matt Busby.
The story had me laughing one minute and sobbing the next - Jack O' Connell especially as he dealt with the aftermath of the tragedy. Truly a harrowing tale which saw such promising talent destroyed so tragically.
A must see for anyone who enjoys a good Sunday drama.

This was a great film about Manchester United (even though I am not a fan of the English game). A very well acted movie with David Tennant brilliant as usual. It shows what guts and determination against all the odds can do and is why Manchester United is the successful club it is today. To survive such a horrible ordeal and overcome it - amazing.

Great viewing. Shows that a certain Welsh man called Jimmy Murphy was a unsung hero after the Munich air crash.

Out of the Ashes, a Phoenix
This film, a BBC production focusing on Manchester United's 1958 crash at Munich, Germany, is definitely a heart-breaker but a worthwhile view. Read more

Not for the Sport
Don't buy this if you expect to watch soccer or football as it is called in the film. This is about the human beings involved in the tragedy. Read more

Brilliant portrayal
I thought 'United' was an extremely good portrayal of the Busby Babes led by the brilliant acting of David Tennant as the coach - with a Welsh accent no less - very impressive! Read more
