Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United (often stylised as Man Utd), or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Domestically, Manchester United have won a record 20 top-flight league titles, 13 FA Cups, 6 League Cups and a record 21 FA Community Shields. Additionally, in international football, they have won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League three times, and the UEFA Europa League, the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, the UEFA Super Cup, the Intercontinental Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup once each.[6][7] Ernest Mangnall brought the club's first league title and FA Cup successes, while Sir Matt Busby was the club's first generational manager. Busby built a team with an average age of 22 nicknamed the Busby Babes that won successive league titles and became the first English club to compete in the European Cup in the 1950s. A majority of the team died in the Munich air disaster, but Busby rebuilt the club and developed a new team led by George Best, Denis Law and Bobby Charlton that won multiple league titles before becoming the first English club to win the European Cup in 1968. After Busby's departure, the club struggled to stay successful until the arrival of Alex Ferguson, who surpassed Busby as the club's longest-serving and most successful manager, winning 38 trophies including 13 league titles, five FA Cups and two Champions League titles between 1986 and 2013.[8][9] In the 1998–99 season, under Ferguson, the club became the first in the history of English football to achieve the continental treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League.[10] In winning the UEFA Europa League under José Mourinho in 2016–17, they became one of five clubs to have won the original three main UEFA club competitions (the Champions League, Europa League and Cup Winners' Cup).
Manchester United is one of the most valuable and widely supported football clubs in the world.[11][12][13] The club has rivalries with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal and Leeds United. After being floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1991, the club was taken private in 2005 after a purchase by American businessman Malcolm Glazer valued at almost £800 million, of which over £500 million of borrowed money became the club's debt.[14] From 2012, some shares of the club were listed on the New York Stock Exchange, although the Glazer family retains overall ownership and control of the club.
