It's grainy, it's slightly jumpy and it encourages you to 'smoke Bulldog'. But this incredible piece of film is the first ever of Manchester United, here playing Burnley back in 1902.

Thanks to the BFI archive and their work in preserving footage like this, so that we can enjoy it over a century later. 



Watch early footage of a scene from Market Street.
