Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based in Old Trafford,
Greater Manchester that
plays in the Premier League. Founded as
Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester
United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910 and is one of the most
successful clubs in
English football.
Manchester United have won the
most League titles (20) of any English club, a joint
record 11 FA Cups, four League Cups,
and a record twenty FA Community
Shields. The club has also won three European Cups,
one UEFA Cup
Winners' Cup, oneUEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental
Cup, and one FIFA Club
World Cup. In 1998–99, the club won a continental
treble of the Premier
League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League.
The 1958 Munich air
disaster claimed the
lives of eight players. In 1968, under the management of Matt Busby, Manchester
United was the first English football club to win the European Cup. Alex Ferguson won 28 major honours, and 38 in
total, from November 1986 to May 2013, when
he announced his retirement after 26 years at the club. On 19 May 2014, Louis van Gaal was appointed as the club's new
manager after Ferguson's successor David Moyes was sacked after only 10 months in
charge, with the club's record
appearance-maker, Ryan Giggs, appointed as
his assistant after a brief period as caretaker manager.
Manchester United is the third-richest
football club in the
world for 2011–12 in terms of revenue, with an annual revenue of €395.9 million, and the world's second most valuable sports team in 2013, valued at
$3.165 billion. It is one of
the most widely supported football teams in the world. After being floated on the London Stock
Exchange in 1991, the
club was purchased by Malcolm Glazer in May 2005 in a deal valuing the club
at almost £800 million, after which the company was taken private again. In August 2012, Manchester United
made an initial public
offering on the New York Stock
