Introducing 'The United Family'

Wednesday 09 August 2023 13:28

Despite the size of Manchester United’s global community, we often talk about the familial feel around the club. Now, we’re going to show you what we mean.

Following the first-person long-read format of UTD Unscripted, The United Family is a new series which will shed light on the human stories behind our great club.

For all the incredible action which takes place out on the pitch, some of the most compelling stories involving United occur away from the spotlight, behind closed doors. The United Family aims to tell those tales and bathe them in new light.

The United Family: Remembering our Jim

The mother of Academy graduate Jimmy Davis shares personal memories of her son, to mark 20 years since he passed away.

We couldn’t think of a better way to start the series than with the incredible story of Jenny Burton. 

Jenny’s son, Jimmy Davis, was a product of United’s youth system who passed away in August 2003 at the tragically young age of 21.

Two decades on from his passing, Jenny has paid him the most beautiful tribute.

The United Family will continue over the coming months. For now, please enjoy Jenny’s jaw-dropping piece, which you can read here.
