Top scorer: George Mutch (23 goals in all competitions).
Season in focus
George Mutch’s 23 goals helped United win Division Two and regain the First Division as champions. Promotion ended five seasons outside the top flight and rewarded a squad rebuilt around a more reliable attack. This was the inter-war recovery’s high point, even though it would prove fragile a year later.
