The greatest football club in the world, that deserves topic in the new erepublik forum.

 

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. Manchester United have won many trophies in English football, including a record 20 League titles, a record 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and a record 20 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 1998–99, the club won a Treble of the Premier League, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, an unprecedented feat for an English club. 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. Sir Alex Ferguson won 25 major honours, and 38 in total, from November 1986 to May 2013, when he announced his retirement after 26 years at the club. Fellow Scot David Moyes was appointed as his replacement on 9 May 2013. Manchester United is one of the wealthiest and 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. In August 2012, Manchester United made an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange. In January 2013, Manchester United became the first sports team in the world to be valued at $3 billion. Forbes Magazine valued the club at $3.3 billion – $1.2 billion higher than the next most valuable sports team.

average team compared to Huddersfield Town AFC... Just saying

[keyser_slo]

It is believed that F.C. will be added to the name again

 

By the way... Bale is an option again... how do you feel about Roo leaving? I say that if he want's, he must go... I like the fact that Moyes is the kind of a guy who will not put a player before the team - SAF was working on team spirit for 27 years and by the looks of it he was right all the way

 

And yes... Glory, glory...

There is something to admire when a club can actually take a risk and produce their own talent which they have done over the last 25 years. They have made some questionable decisions regarding player purchases etc.. But they are an institution that should be respected for all it has accomplished.

I agree if Rooney really wants to leave he should leave but I don't want them to sell him to another pl club. Maybe trade him to Everton for Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines but I doubt Rooney would go to a club that isn't playing in CL.
