Manchester United

Manchester United play at Old Trafford, the 'Theatre of Dreams', their home since 1910. With a capacity of 74,310, it's the largest club stadium in England and one of world football's most iconic venues, hosting legendary nights that have shaped European football history.

United finished a disappointing 15th with 42 points, their lowest ever Premier League position. They recorded just 11 wins, 9 draws, and 18 losses, scoring 44 and conceding 54 goals - a season requiring significant reflection and rebuilding.

Manchester United have won 20 English league titles (the most in history), 3 European Cups/Champions Leagues (1968, 1999, 2008), 12 FA Cups, and numerous other trophies. Their 1999 treble under Sir Alex Ferguson remains one of football's greatest ever achievements.

United legends include Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Eric Cantona, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and manager Sir Alex Ferguson. These icons delivered unprecedented success and made United one of the world's most recognized sporting brands.

Sir Alex Ferguson managed United from 1986-2013, winning 13 Premier League titles and 2 Champions Leagues. His 27-year reign created a dynasty that dominated English football and established United as a global powerhouse across every continent.

The nickname 'Red Devils' was adopted in the 1960s, inspired by the Salford rugby league team. Combined with their iconic red kit, it became one of sport's most recognizable identities, known from Old Trafford to every corner of the globe.

United's fiercest rivals are Liverpool in England's biggest club rivalry, and Manchester City in the Manchester Derby. They also have historic rivalries with Arsenal and Chelsea from title battles.

The 1958 Munich Air Disaster killed 8 United players including Duncan Edwards, devastating the club and English football. The Busby Babes' tragic loss and the club's subsequent rebuilding to win the 1968 European Cup became one of sport's most emotional stories, remembered globally.

United's unprecedented global fanbase - estimated at over 600 million supporters - spans from Asia to Africa, the Americas to Europe. Their success under Ferguson, attacking traditions, and iconic players like Ronaldo and Beckham built a worldwide brand unmatched in English football.
