The Glazer revolution at Manchester United is six months old this week, and on the face of it little has changed, at least not with much fanfare, transparency or disclosure of intent from the secretive sons - Joel, Bryan and Avi - who are running England's biggest club to make a buck for their father, Malcolm. Appearances can be deceptive.

[4] MUST HAVE CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM AMAZON
With only 36 days until Christmas isn't it about time you started thinking about what to buy the United fan in your family? Well, here's an idea that will help you and at the same time earn a small commission for SU-MUST.
Recommended DVD of the week
Manchester United - FA Cup Finals - 9 DISC DVD Boxed set for only £29.99 (save £10). A collection of every FA Cup Final featuring Manchester United from 1963 to 2004.
http://www.shareholdersunited.org/ama.php?id=B00061RZEW
Recommended Book of the Week
Manchester United: Tragedy, Destiny and History - Ken Ferris £11.19
This book covers the oft-told story of United's history in the European Cup from the Munich disaster to their dramatic victory in the Nou Camp six years ago.
Focusing on the three main events of United's history in Europe - the Munich Air Disaster (Tragedy), the 1968 triumph over Benfica (Destiny)and the 1999 win over Bayern Munich which completed an unprecedented treble (History) - Ferris has produced what seems like three mini-books beneath the same cover.
United's most recent Champions League win is not crammed in to just those 93 minutes at the Nou Camp, but spread across over 100 pages to tell the full story of United's stay in the Catalan capital. Of course, the drama of Sheringham and Solskjaer's late goals take centre stage, but the tense build-up, the fans' tales along Las Ramblas, the post-match celebrations and the heroes' return to Manchester are all included as well.
The first two chapters are just as good, particularly the one on the Munich disaster, which is told with a sadness and sensitivity that brings a lump to the throat.
There is an obvious risk this book might get lost among the hundreds of other United books that dominate the shelves. This would be a great shame, as it deserves a much wider readership.
