That club would become an all-consuming obsession for young Nooruddean, who would one day become a small brown man and, vitally, also a Red. Inshallah United is the story of the first British-born son of a Pakistani family living in England's second city. And geography is important, because if it wasn't for his mum and dad settling in Manchester rather than anywhere else in
