About Manchester United

Manchester United were founded in 1878 by their original name Newton Heath L&YR Football Club. It wasn’t until 1902 that the club officially changed their name to Manchester United. The football club initially played home matches at the North Road ground before moving to the Bank Street in 1893. It wasn’t until 1910 that Manchester United moved to their current home, Old Trafford. The move to Old Trafford was made for the club to achieve new ambitions having won their first-ever Football League championship in 1908.

The Red Devils have seen a number of eras of success. The 1950s saw Sir Matt Busby win three league titles setting up the club for a brilliant silverware-laden decade of the 1960s. Two more league title went to Old Trafford in the 1960s along with an FA Cup and UEFA European Cup in 1968. 

The successful decades of the 1950s and 1960s sandwiched one of the biggest tragedies in European football between them. The Munich Air Disaster in February 1958 took the lives of eight first-team players. Busby rebuilt the team around players as George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law leading to the success of the 1960s.

The club spent the 1970s and 1980s in the shadow of long-time rival Liverpool. While the Reds won trophy-after-trophy, Manchester United hit their lowest point of the 20th century. Sir Alex Ferguson’s arrival in 1986 might have started slow but went on to change English football forever.

The Red Devils became the dominant English club in the Premier League and Europe during the 1990s and 2000s. Under Ferguson, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies. No club have won more First Division/Premier League trophies than Manchester United’s 20.

Manchester United Legends

Some of the biggest names have passed through Old Trafford over the years. One of the most-talked about players, even today, is George Best, who had a mercurial rise to the top before burning out brightly. Bobby Charlton was a part of the Busby Babes and had tremendous success at the club in terms of goals and trophies while also being part of the 1966 England World Cup winning squad.

In the 1990s, after a down period, Fergie’s fledglings took the club back to the highest echelons of football. David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, the Neville brothers, and Andy Cole are all well-remembered stars of the era. Other greats to wear the Manchester United shirt more recently include Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Rio Ferdinand.

Manchester United Managers 

Two names truly stick out as great Manchester United managers - Sir Matt Busby and Sir Alex Ferguson. 

Sir Matt Busby oversaw the team’s success in the 1950s and 1960s before leaving the club. He won 13 major trophies in two stints with the Red Devils.

Sir Alex Ferguson arrived in 1986 from Aberdeen. After a slow start and nearly being sacked, Ferguson was able to "knock Liverpool off their fucking perch" and lead Manchester United back to tthe very top. Thirty-nine major trophies were secured by Ferguson before leaving in 2013. Other notable managerial names in club history include Tommy Docherty, Ron Atkinson, Jose Mourinho, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
