Surprised Cantona doesnt have 1 considering the influence and impact he had on the club.

Long awaited gesture by the club to honour the guy that was instrumental in keeping United going and prevented the football club actually ending in the wake of the Munich air disaster. Im sure '52 could tell us more, first hand.

As United fans and supporters today, we all owe Mr Murphy something quite special.

A well deserved gesture, but why did it take so long?

See 'United' on Netflix.

I think it’s a nice touch. And adds a bit of prestige and focal points outside stadiums, which let’s be honest, are otherwise just a bit drab and uninspiring.

Personally, and on a slightly different note, I really dislike the area outside the Etihad. There is so much potential there and it’s just being neglected overall.

Absolute travesty it's taken the club this long. As RB&W said had Jimmy not been around, likelihood is United would never have recovered.

Slightly off topic, but does the addition of this statue tell us anything about the plans to leave / renovate the stadium?

A great man for United and for his country.

When people question why I support United it's names like his I use as part of my justification (not that I have to justify it to anyone of course).

I'm proud my country has produced so many people who have been important in the club's history.

Wayne Barton wrote a book called The Man Who Kept The Red Flag Flying The Fully Authorised Life Story of Jimmy Murphy was interviewed on the radio today.

It sounds like a good read and it would seem Jimmy was a very important figure at United.

Sorry Cleverson. Nothing against you, just didn’t want his comments repeated.

It's right he should have a statue,he is important in the clubs history.

Mind he should have been sponsored by Players, they should pay for the statue. And Johnny Walkers.
A man after my own heart. He probably needed it. My heart that is.
But he was a star for us.

I'd never go on the Liverpool board and one star a Shankley article, or on Leeds and one star Don Revie.
Beats me.

It's actually 4 statues, comprising of 6 legends.

An incredibly important figure in the club’s history, a very humble and dedicated man by all accounts, and this seems a very fitting tribute.

Rdd, Murphy wasnt a melt.

But you are for trying to ignore him as an important figure in Uniteds history and trying to divert the conversation towards Eric Cantona because you might of heard of him.
