Manchester United is a globally renowned English professional football club based in Manchester, widely recognized as one of the richest and best-supported sports organizations worldwide. Founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR by railway workers, the club was renamed Manchester United in 1902 and has played at its iconic Old Trafford stadium since 1910[3][1]. The club is distinguished by its nickname, "the Red Devils," and its signature red jerseys. Manchester United has an illustrious history marked by significant achievements, including a record 20 English top-division league titles and 13 FA Cups. It was the first English club to win the European Cup (now the UEFA Champions League) in 1968, defeating Benfica 4–1 in the final[3][1][5]. The club’s golden era was significantly shaped by two legendary managers: Sir Matthew Busby (1945–1969) and Sir Alex Ferguson (1986–2013). Ferguson, the longest-serving and most successful manager, won 38 trophies, including 13 league titles and two UEFA Champions League titles, notably achieving the historic continental treble in the 1998–99 season by winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League[1][3]. Manchester United has also won the UEFA Europa League, completing a unique set of victories across the three main UEFA club competitions. The club’s trophy cabinet includes 3 UEFA Champions League titles, 1 FIFA Club World Cup, 6 Carabao Cups, and multiple Community Shields, totaling 69 major trophies[5][2][4]. Financially, Manchester United is a powerhouse, having been the highest-earning football club globally in 2016–17, with revenues exceeding €676 million. It was publicly listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1991 and later on the New York Stock Exchange, though currently, the Glazer family retains ownership after a leveraged buyout in 2005[1].
