A Look Back At Manchester United
The Manchester United Football Club is probably one of the most recognizable and popular clubs in England. They currently play at the Old Trafford ground in Greater Manchester.
The team has founded over 100 years ago, back 1878 but Newton Heath. It joined the football league some years later in 1892. It has gone onto play in the top division of English football since way back in 1938 with the exception of 1974. In fact the average attendance at the club has been above any other team since 1964 with the exception of just six seasons
Alex Ferguson became manager of the club in 1986 and since then they have won an amazing 22 awards which is what makes them one of the most successful teams in the country.
In both 1999 and 2008 they won the European Cup and came runner up in 2009. They also hold the record (which they share with another team) for the most English League titles (18) and the most FA cup wins (11)
The Manchester United brand has proved to be so successful that it has the highest revenue of any football club and is actually the most valuable club in any sport throughout the word. It is estimated to be worth around £1.136 billion
The ground at Old Trafford where the team plays is huge with the capacity to hold over 76,000 people. Some of the most well known and high profile players have played for Manchester United including the likes of Wayne Rooney and David Beckham. With players like this it is no wonder the team have done so well.
