This a thread to anyone who knows a reliable contact at Manchester Utd, or knows how best to get in touch with the club.

My 25yr old cousin has suffered from a sudden and unexpected stroke and has had to have 2 blood clots removed from his brain in an emergency operation in Derifird hospital, Plymouth. I want to get in touch with MUFC to see if they can send him some message of support to boost his long road to what is hoped will be a full recovery.

All of his family are keen Man U fans and this will be a welcome distraction in this unfortunate time.

Thank you.

Can't help you with that one Danny boy but sorry to hear about your cousin and hope he recovers quickly. Hope you also get sorted with the Man U thing too mate.

Barry Moorhouse used to be the man to contact but is a liaison manager now. You could still contact him though as he is a very helpful approachable guy. I don't know his email address but you should be able to find it somewhere.

I'm not too sure what United are like these days, but they used to be very good with this kind of situation under the old owners. A friend of mine used to collect autographs as a kid and would often use snail mail to ask various clubs for autographs of the team. Usually he would get a printed picture of the team with printed autographs or, if he was lucky, a football with real autographs.

From United, he got a signed shirt in his size, a framed A3 team squad picture with real autographs, a football with real autographs AND an offer to visit the training ground during pre-season training to come and meet all the players. It was kinda wasted on him though as he was an Argyle fan!

Everything he did was hand written and addressed to the chairman. Not sure whether it being hand written by a child helped, but I can't imagine it would hurt to hand write it.
