Manchester United

Manchester United (Man Utd) are the most famous football club in the world, with over 330 million supporters worldwide.

Based at the Old Trafford stadium in Trafford, Greater Manchester, the club was a founding member of the Premier League in 1992, and has played in the top division of English football since 1975. Average attendances at the club have been higher than any other team in English football for all but six seasons since 1964–65.

The club is the second most successful in the history of English football and by far the most successful of recent times, having won 18 major honours since the start of Alex Ferguson's reign as manager in November 1986.

They are the Premier League's reigning champions, and have won the Premier League/Football League 16 times. In 1968, they became the first English club to win the European Cup, beating S.L. Benfica 4–1, and they won a second European Cup in 1999. They also hold the record for the most FA Cup titles 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 the second richest club in the world.

Man Utd remains the most valuable club in the world.

Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo, who can play on both wings, has been named as the Professional Footballers’ Association player of the year for the second year running after scoring an outstanding 38 goals in all competitions so far this season.

Man Utd are now in 2008 European Cup final and will play Chelsea in Moscow on May 21st.
