Manchester United FC | Club History

We discuss some of Manchester United Football Club's history in this video. We begin with the club's location, home ground, and founding story. We then discuss the club's nicknames, crest, and important events. And we close with discussing noteworthy players, managers, and stats/records.
The video is not all-encompassing but it hopefully provides some interesting information about Manchester United FC.

Special thanks to @TheGameofFooty on Twitter (twitter.com/TheGameofFooty/status/976862079754874881 & twitter.com/TheGameofFooty/status/976862294230564866) for these additional insights: - Leeds remain the second biggest rivalry after Liverpool for United fans over the age of 25. The City game may be the derby but despite Leeds being out of the top flight they are no doubt a bigger traditional rival than City - It's also worth noting that United were the first English team to enter the European Cup, that along with their young squad amplified the tragedy and the 1968 win was really the culmination of that rebuilding

[@dejectedspirit3376]

You forgot to mention that the United v Chelsea rivalry was ignited due to the 2008 champions league final that united won via penalty shootout.

Man Utd's Old Trafford stadium that a bit if TLC won't cure. All it needs is the Upgrade of the Sir Bobby Charlton's Stand with a 2nd tier to complete the original design & the removal of the 3rd tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson's Stand & replaced by TV Screens for all 4 corners. We also want a levelled new Roof + modern refurbishment of the rest of the stadium to warrant a 90K capacity in comfort. SBCS 25K + SAFS 25K + SES 20K + ES 20K = 90K. The expansion should not exceed the rail track. Old Trafford known as 'The Theatre of Dreams' unique in style is the Super Bowl of stadiums & is potentially The best Stadium in the country, possibly the world. We're sure that can be achieved with minimal fuss, going by our walk around the stadium experience by observation.

I recently had a deluded City fan trying to claim that Man City are famous, i think he`s wrong as Utd are far more successful and have a much bigger fanbase and a global fanbase , City have a long way to go to be considered to be famous , especially in europe, with just 1 european trophy.

[@poolypiraterecords5740]

I'm English I promise you Man Utd are a million times more famous than City. Check out the lists of most supported clubs in Europe. There is 9 super clubs in Europe they are; Man Utd, Real Madrid, Barcelona, Juventus, Liverpool, Chelsea, Ajax, A.C Milan, and Bayern Munich. These are the biggest and best in Europe. All won 5 or more Champions Leagues or All three Major UEFA trophies at one time in history, honorable mentions: Arsenal, Inter Milan, Benfica, Porto, PSG and Borussia Dortmund. NOT MAN CITY, they've only became successful in the last decade! Hope that clears things up lol

[@GRAMDAVNO1]

@@poolypiraterecords5740 well said, the only people who can`t face this reality are City fans , maybe they think they can buy history as well, lol.

[@poolypiraterecords5740]

@@GRAMDAVNO1 couldn't agree more, PS it's there last chance for a couple of seasons as they are banned from UEFA comps for next couple of years. Hopefully will go on decline a bit, as you say they've only bought the little bit of silverware they recently aquiered!

devil of a red, I'm just happy u acknowledge we got European success

[@RohitSinghhere]

@@poolypiraterecords5740 Man let me tell you something from a outsider perspective. I'm a Madrid fan btw, but I prefer City in English football. I'll tell you this as an Indian who watched football as a kid United were far more popular than anyone except for maybe Chelsea, Barcelona, Madrid and to some extend Liverpool and Arsenal in Asia. Trust me I have been a part of probably all the facebook groups and chatrooms in the continent. However that has massively changed now, United might still be more popular but that gap is filling day by day. We have a lot more city fans and Barca and Madrid have already overtaken UTD. Also a digital marketing professional let me tell you stop being a dinosaur. Today a kid from some third world country in Africa can be a TikTok star known by everyone in the world. Haaland is on his way to being goated and it will help City like it helped UTD with CR7. So only a fool will assume that their position is secure. It isnt. City has far more recent big wins, Star players, money in this digital age to surpass UTD. Don't let your tribalism put a curtain on your mind.

The football club actually started life in 1880 the Newton Heath of 1878 was a Rugby club.

[@TheSoccerTavern]

Nice, thanks for the clarification! 🍻

[@brianshockledge3241]

@@TheSoccerTavern The football club to this day claim they were founded in 1878 but they were totally seperate from the Rugby club. Maybe it`s to claim they were the first but St Marks (later known as Manchester City) were the first club in Manchester to play Association Football Rules.

United and Chelsea isn’t even a rivalry, would’ve been better if you included Leeds and Man United Both despise each other, the rivalry stretches back to the fact Leeds is the biggest club in Yorkshire and United biggest in Lancashire. Yorkshire and Lancashire were at war during the Tudor times and the rivalry was even heated in the 70s with both clubs having massive hooligan firms

[@poolypiraterecords5740]

Sheffield United a bigger club than Leeds these days !
