Basic information about FC Manchester United

Manchester United Football Club is an English Premier League football club which plays at Old Trafford in Greater Manchester. The club was formed as Newton Heath in 1878, joined the Football League in 1892 and has played in the top division of English football since 1938 with the exception of the 1974–75 season. Average attendances at the club have been higher than any other team in English football for all but six seasons since 1964–65.
Manchester United are the reigning English champions, having won the 2008–09 Premier League. The club is one of the most successful in the history of English football and has won 22 major honours since Alex Ferguson became manager in November 1986. In 1968, they became the first English club to win the European Cup, beating Benfica 4–1. They won a second European Cup as part of a Treble in 1999, and a third in 2008, before finishing runner-up in 2009. The club holds the joint record for the most English league titles with 18 and also holds the record for the most FA Cup wins with 11.
Since the late 1990s, the club has been one of the richest in the world with the highest revenue of any football club, and is currently ranked as the richest and most valuable club in any sport worldwide, with an estimated value of around L1.136 billion (€1.319 billion / $1.870 billion) as of April 2009. Manchester United was a founding member of the now defunct G-14 group of Europe's leading football clubs, and its replacement, the European Club Association.
Alex Ferguson has been manager of the club since 6 November 1986, joining from Aberdeen after the departure of Ron Atkinson. The current club captain is Gary Neville, who succeeded Roy Keane in November 2005.
 

Norman Whiteside and me :)

The English football legend Norman Whiteside to meet very often when I am in UK, because the firm for which I work is in close contact with the Old Trafford manager is manager of Manchester United. Norman Whiteside was one of the most amazing player of the Manchester United Team. He managed to score 66 goals in 273 applications. Sure he would continue on scoring goals if he wouldn't be injured at the age of 26.

 

Jerseys of the team

Every real football fan should recognize his favourite team at the first look. I would like to introduce you the jerseys of the Manchester United Team. When the team plays on his own stadium in Old Trafford, it playis in the strong red jersey and white shorts with red stripes on the sides. On foreign stadiums, the team plays in black jersey with a blue "V" stripe on the chest and blue stripes on the sides of the shorts. As the third color the club uses a white jersey and blue shorts with white stripes on the sides.
