Manchester United History
Manchester United were founded in 1902, although their origins stretch back to 1878 when they were originally founded as Newton Heath. The club floated between the top two divisions for much of their early history but found consistency in the top flight after the Second World War under Sir Matt Busby, who was appointed manager in 1945. During a total of 25 years in charge, Busby guided the club to 13 trophies, including five First Division titles and one European Cup. He also oversaw the most difficult period in the club’s history, having been a surviver of the Munich Air Disaster that claimed the lives of 23 people, including eight of his first team squad. Busby continued in his role and rebuilt a team featuring Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best, who went on to win the European Cup in 1968.
After Busby’s departure in 1971, the club had a period of decline that led to them being relegated to the Second Division in the 1973/74 season. However, the appointment of Sir Alex Ferguson was the catalyst for an unprecedented period of dominance in the modern era of football. Ferguson had to wait until 1990 to win his first trophy, doing so in the FA Cup, but proved to be the catalyst for plenty more.
By the time he had finished, he had won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, five FA Cups and four League Cups, among other trophies. He repeatedly rebuilt and tinkered his team to keep them at the top, boasting superstars such as Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeichel, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rio Ferdinand, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Nemanja Vidic, Carlos Tevez and Robin van Persie, to name a few, over the years.
