Manchester United Welcomes 17th edition Class

On Tuesday 11th October, the 17th edition class of the International MA in Management, Law and Humanities of Sport (" FIFA Master ") had a day to remember when they were the guests of Manchester United Football Club. The day began with a behind the scenes tour of the famous Old Trafford Stadium, including visiting both the home and away dressing rooms, media room and technical areas.

For the afternoon programme of the field visit, the class received a special invitation to meet with senior Club Directors in Communications, Finance and Club Administration for a special Q and A session at their world class Aon Training Complex, in Carrington. Later the class had the opportunity to tour the facility and learn more about the training and coaching routines used by the club to develop the stars of the future

The day was made particularly special as it provided 17th edition class student and previous Manchester United player, Park Ji-Sung, with a chance to return to his former club.

On behalf of the Humanities of Sport module team in the International Centre for Sports History and Culture at De Montfort University, The International Centre for Sport Studies (CIES) in Switzerland who provide overall course co-ordination and the 17th edition class, we all send our sincere thanks to everybody at Manchester United who made this such a memorable visit for the class and for supporting our students as they continue their course studies.
