Manchester United

 

Manchester United Football Club is an English Premier League football club formed in 1878. Manchester United joined the UK Football League in 1892 and has been in the top division since 1938. Manchester United are the reigning English champions and Club World Cup holders. 

 

One of the most successful clubs in English Premier League's history, Manchester United has won 22 major titles since 1986. The club has won a record 18 English League titles, as well as a record 11 FA Cup wins.

 

 

The club's home is the Trafford Stadium, dubbed "Old Trafford." Trafford is an all-seater stadium with a capacity of 75,797. The teams played in various colors over the years, the most recognizable being the yellow and green shirts worn in 1878-1892 and again in 1894-1896. Other kits included red and white shirt (1892–1894) and all-white shirts (1896–1902), both worn with blue shorts. The red jerseys-white shorts-black socks combination came about in 1902.

 

The Manchester United crest has evolved over the years, but the basic form, derived from the crest of the City of Manchester, has remained true to form. The devil image represents the club's nickname "the Red Devils", adopted in the early 1960s. In 1998, the crest was modernized and the words "Football Club" were removed, leaving the image alone.

 

 

Manchester United is owned by American businessman Malcolm Glazer and is considered one of the richest clubs in the world with an estimated value of around £1.136 billion.
