uring these Covid times, which aren’t easy for anyone, our Club Premises have been closed most of the time. The Committee did not stop working towards our Club and kept meeting online every month.
The members present permitted us to move the AGM to September. Joseph Tedesco also informed the members about the Manchester United visit to Malta which unfortunately had to be cancelled.
We want to thank Fr. Anthony C. Ferrante, as he has informed us about stepping down from Club Chaplain due to personal reasons. Fr. Anthony celebrated our masses every February & November and also had an article in this magazine. We want to thank Fr. Anthony for the commitment shown towards our Club. Thank You!
On the 1st July 2021, we have celebrated 25 years since Sir Alex Ferguson opened the Msida premises with a video split into two parts showcasing every event we have hosted in Msida during these past years.

In August, some 30 supporters from around the world have visited our Club. The grandsons of the great Jimmy Murphy, Paul & Stephen, have donated a framed coin found in the belongings of Duncan Edwards in the Munich Air Crash in 1958. I urge you to come to our premises and see it. Other gifts were exchanged with the Austrian branch. The Committee decided to organize some events for these supporters, which included a day by the pool, a boat trip around Comino and St. Paul’s Islands and a day in Gozo where we visited the Ggantija Temples, Cittadella, Marsalforn, the MUSC Malta Gozo Branch and finished off the day with a delicious dinner at The Grand Hotel in Mgarr.
