MUTV Shorts: The Canary Man

MUTV will show three short films about passionate Manchester United fans on Wednesday 28 September, including one about a man who loves the Reds - and red canaries!

The title of the film, 'The Canary Man', might suggest the subject is a Norwich City supporter but instead it refers to the hobby of Michael Burke, a lifelong United fan who has been breeding, judging and exhibiting red canaries for more than half a century. He has a large collection of birds and uses Sir Alex Ferguson as one of his inspirations in managing his flock.
