History
| Synopsis – Founding | Originally formed as Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Cricket and Football club in 1878, the original club were declared bankrupt in 1902, and reformed as Manchester United. |
| Synopsis – Major Events | Starting out in the local Manchester league, they moved into the northern league, and then were admitted to the league as one of the founder members of Division 2. Despite winning the league in the early 1900's they were somewhat of a yo-yo club during the early years, and it wasn't really until after the second world war that they became the major club they are now. Having probably assembled one of the best sides in history during the 1950's they were sadly ripped apart by the Munich air disaster on their return from a European Cup semi final in 1958. After a brief spell in the second division in the early seventies, they went on to be the biggest club in terms of income in the world. |
| Synopsis – Recent Times | The team since the advent of the Premier league, having won the title 8 times in 11 years, they are a money making machine on and off the pitch, and are always likely to be the title favourites. |
| Synopsis – Strange Facts | They won the first ever Charity Shield, were the first English winners of the European cup, and were the first team to win the double twice, and have gone on to win three doubles in total. The only British winners of the Inter-Continental cup. |
