    Manchester United F.C.

    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. 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. The current manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has won 24 major honours since he took over in November 1986. Manchester United has won many trophies in English football, including a record 19 league titles, a record 11 FA Cups,four League Cups and a record 19 FA Community Shields. The club has also won three European Cups, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup, one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup. In 199899, the club won a Treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, an unprecedented feat for an English club. Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world.As of April 2012, the club is number one in Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the world's 50 most valuable sports teams, valued at 1.4 billion.[10] 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.

    Ferguson years (1986present)

    Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson's dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league.Despite a second-place finish in 198788, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup Final replay (after a 33 draw) saved Ferguson's career.[40][41] The following season, Manchester United claimed its first Cup Winners' Cup title and competed in the 1991 UEFA Super Cup, beatingEuropean Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 10 in the final at Old Trafford. A second consecutive League Cup final appearance followed in 1992, in which the team beat Nottingham Forest 10 at Wembley. In 1993, the club won its first league title since 1967, and a year later, for the first time since 1957, it won a second consecutive title alongside the FA Cup to complete the first "Double" in the club's history. In the 199899 season, Manchester United became the first team to win the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League "The Treble" in the same season.[43] Losing 10 going into injury time in the 1999 UEFA Champions League Final, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjr scored late goals to claim a dramatic victory over Bayern Munich, in what is considered one of the greatest comebacks of all time.[44] The club also won the Intercontinental Cup after beating Palmeiras 10 in Tokyo.Ferguson was subsequently knighted for his services to football. Manchester United won the league again in the 19992000 and 2000 01 seasons. The team finished as runners-up in 200102, before regaining the title in 200203. They won the 200304 FA Cup, beating Millwall 30 in the final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. In the 200506 season, Manchester United failed to qualify for the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in over a decade, but recovered to secure a second-place league finish and victory over Wigan Athletic in the 2006 Football League Cup Final. The club regained the Premier League in the 200607 and 200708 seasons, and completed the European double by beating Chelsea 65 on penalties in the 2008 UEFA Champions League Final in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium. Ryan Giggs made a record 759th appearance for the club in this game, overtaking previous record holder Bobby Charlton.[48] In December 2008, the club won the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup and followed this with the 200809 Football League Cup,

    and its third successive Premier League title. That summer, Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Real Madrid for a world record 80 million. In 2010, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 21 at Wembley to retain the League Cup, its first successful defence of a knockout cup competition.
