Manchester
United was formed originally as Newton Heath in 1878, and then eventually
changed Manchester United in 1902 and were Division One champions just
six years later. The FA Cup was also on display before a move to Old
Trafford in 1910, with another league title under Ernest Mangnall. The
inter-war years were a barren spell for the United, but Sir Matt Busby
took control as manager in 1945 and won three league titles in the 1950s.
However, tragedy struck on the return from a European tie in 1958 when
an air crash in Munich, Germany took the lives of eight Manchester United
players and robbed the world of one of the most exciting teams of its
era. Busby survived and continued to lead United to league glory in
1965 and 1967 before a famous European Cup triumph in 1968. Man Utd
have always had success in cup competitions, including lifting the European
Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, translated into league success in 1993 - the
first season of the FA Premiership. The team went on to dominate English
football under Sir Alex Ferguson's. The double of FA Premier League
and FA Cup Doubles were captured in 1994 and 1996, before 1999's thrilling
FA Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble victory.
