Edit this club history introduction
1878-1902: The predecessor of Manchester United
p>Manchester United Football Club was founded in 1878 as Newton County Football Club.
The LYR team (LYR is the familiar English abbreviation of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company).
Newton Heath is the name of a common railway site in England. Workers on the construction site release their passion for football by playing against teams from other departments or other railway companies. They never thought that their team would occupy a place in English football and even international football competitions and become one of the world's top clubs. , but from the day this team was founded, it was destined that Manchester United's playing style is to emphasize teamwork and passionate offensive football.
Newton Heath took advantage of its big brother Manchester City and insisted on changing its name to Manchester Central, but the Manchester City Council refused to approve it. The reason is simple: you are not qualified. Then, Newton Schiff proposed changing the name to Manchester Celtic (Mancheseter Celtic), but this time the Scottish Celtic club refused.
The Celtics are a true church team, headed by Brother Walfrid. Wolfred served as a priest in the Congregation of Mary in his early years. Marist Brothers. With such a religious background, how could Scotland's Celtic Football Club be an easy target to mess with? On August 8, 1898, Wolfred went directly to the court in London to file a lawsuit: Newton Heath, ignorant of the Catholic background, was falsely called "Celtic"! The Newton Schiff club acknowledged its loss and apologized in person. They publicly apologized to all parties 8 times a day, basically losing face. On April 26, 1902, Newton Schiff's vigorous "naming campaign" that lasted for five years finally came to an end. They eventually named themselves "Manchester United". In the 2006-07 season, Manchester United met Celtic in the Champions League. Celtic fans made the number "8" gesture to mock everything that happened after August 8, 1898.
When the Football Association was founded in 1888, those who founded Newton Heath felt that they were not worthy of competing with Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End. ) together to form the Football Federation. Newton Heath did not join the Football Association until 1892.
1902-1909: The official birth and early glory of Manchester United
The financial situation of Newton Heath was relatively bad. By the beginning of the 20th century, the team was in unsustainable difficulties. At this time, a local winery owner named John Henry Davies invested money to save the team. Manchester United, a name that would later become famous in world football, was officially born in April/May 1902.
The Rise of the Red Devils
The important figure who joined Manchester United after Davis was Ernest Mangnall. Mangnall became the club's secretary in 1903, and to this day, he is recognized as the club's first manager. His team includes recently signed goalkeeper Harry Moger and forward Charlie Sagar. The team won third place in the Second Division in two consecutive seasons, 1903-1904 and 1904-1905. The following 1905-1906 season was one of Manchester United's most glorious early seasons. The team's forward Dick Dack Dick Duckworth, Alex Bell and captain Charlie Roberts helped the team reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. And more importantly, the team was able to emerge from the Second Division and finally enter the First Division after twelve years in the Football League. Manchester United defeated the FA Cup winners Queens Park Rangers 4-0 to win the Charity Shield.
In 1907, Manchester United's upward momentum continued unabated and they took the step of becoming an important force in English football. Manchester United won a historic eighth place.
In 1908, Manchester United realized their long-cherished wish and won the first top league championship in history.
In 1909, Manchester United won the first FA Cup trophy in the club's history.
Before 1909, Manchester United had been playing at Creighton Stadium. This was a stadium in poor condition and difficult to meet Manchester United's development needs. In 1909, the new stadium was completed at Trafford Park. The originally planned capacity was 100,000, but it was reduced to 60,000 due to budget overruns. On February 19, 1910, Manchester United officially opened its new stadium and named it "Old Trafford".
In the 1911-12 season, Manchester United won the league championship again, the showdown between the giants 80 years ago
Busby’s children
February 19, 1945 On the same day, the "Manchester Evening News" published this news: "Matt Busby signed an agreement today to become the head coach of Manchester United..." At that time, Busby was only 34 years old. It opened the prelude to a new era for Manchester United. In 1946, after World War II ended, the Football League reopened, and Manchester United also began to rebuild under the leadership of Busby. In 1949, the Old Trafford stadium, which was damaged by German bombing, was repaired and put into use. Busby began a great legend here.
Top of Europe
On May 26, 1999, at the Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona, ??Manchester United faced Bayern Munich. This was one of the most classic Champions League finals in history. The suspensions of Keane and Scholes damaged Manchester United's strength. They fell behind 0-1 in 90 minutes, and their opponents still had several chances to seal the victory. The miracle came in the stoppage time of the second half. Beckham's two corner kicks allowed Sheringham and Solskjaer to score, and Manchester United created a miraculous reversal. Coincidentally, this day was Sir Busby's 90th birthday. Manchester United people looked up to God with tears in their eyes and thanked the eyes that had blessed them. In fact, this is not the first time that Manchester United has risen from adversity. In the semi-finals against Juventus, when they were 1-1 at home and 0-2 away from home, Keane took the lead and Cole and York achieved success. Go ahead.
Twenty-first Century
In the first decade of the new millennium, Manchester United once again took the lead in the world. They went to Brazil to participate in a new football event: International FIFA Club World Championship. For this reason, they gave up the chance to defend the FA Cup.
In the 1999/2000 season, several goalkeepers, including Mark Bosnich, were unable to secure their positions at Manchester United. Therefore, it was not surprising that Fabien Barthez joined Manchester United in July 2000 after the French team won consecutive World Cup and European Championship titles.
Barthez, the main goalkeeper of the French team, has a perverse personality but extraordinary skills. He helped Manchester United win three consecutive league championships in the 2000/2001 season. Only a few clubs in the history of England can win. This honor. The most recent winner of three consecutive championships was the Liverpool team from 1982 to 1984, but Liverpool achieved three consecutive championships under the leadership of two coaches, namely Bob Paisley and Joe Biden. · Joe Fagan.
Behind Manchester United's three consecutive championships, Ferguson took the greatest credit. He became the first team coach to complete a hat-trick in the history of English football. After winning his third consecutive league trophy, Ferguson announced that he would resign as head coach at the end of the 2001/2002 season. At the same time, his assistant Steve McClaren also announced that he will go to Middlesbrough to replace Brian Robson as the team's head coach.
In order to fill the vacancy left by McLaren, Ferguson promoted Jim Ryan and Mike Phelan, who had played for Manchester United, to assistant head coach and head coach respectively. Manchester United first team coach.
But while Sir Alex was filling in the gaps in the coaching staff, he was also making gaps in the team. He transferred defender Jaap Stam to Lazio. This decision surprised everyone, even Stam himself.
Barthez's teammate in the French team, Laurent Blanc, who participated in the 1998 World Cup, moved to Manchester United. He replaced Stam in the team and worked with him. Wes Brown, Gary Neville and Ronny Johnsen.
Many people believe that after Ferguson spent big money to buy Ruud van Nistelrooy and Veron, Blanco will be his new head coach. The last star. But in January 2002, Sir Alex Ferguson made another big move and signed Uruguayan forward Forlan, who was playing for Independiente.
But Forlan’s position in the team is difficult to finalize, because Van Nistelrooy has set a record of scoring in 8 consecutive games in the league. In these eight games, Manchester United has won all of them. After eight consecutive victories, Manchester United regained the confidence to defend the league championship. However, at the end of the 2001/02 season, the team was unable to reproduce its former glory of leading the pack and was defeated by Milde in the FA Cup. Castlevania were eliminated, the Champions League ended in the semi-finals, and they only finished third in the Premier League. For this reason, veteran coach Ferguson announced that he would continue to stay in office and was determined to lead Manchester United to achieve greater glory in the 2002/03 season.
In the 2002/03 season, Manchester United caught up with Arsenal in the league after being 11 points behind, and finally regained the league championship.
In the following story, Manchester United is no longer the protagonist. In the summer of 2003, a Russian named Roman Arkadievich Abramovich took over Chelsea, and the Blues rose strongly; in 2004, Arsenal Nathan dominated the Premier League with an unbeaten record; in 2005 and 2006, Chelsea won the Premier League championship, while Manchester United only won the FA Cup and League Cup during this period. In the summer of 2005, American Glazer turned Manchester United into a privately owned club, and a new era began.
In the 2006-07 season, Manchester United successfully won the Premier League title two rounds ahead of schedule even though they were not favored. This was Manchester United’s ninth Premier League title in 15 years, and Giggs also became his own. The player who has won the most championships since the establishment of the Premier League, he won 9 Premier League championships in one go!
In the transfer market in the summer of 2007, Manchester United spent a lot of money to introduce Owen Hargreaves, Anderson Luis de Abreu Oliveira, Nani (Luís Carlos Almeidada Cunha), Tevi Among the four stars in Carlos Tevez, Hargreaves can solve the problem of strong waist that has plagued the Red Devils for a long time. The introduction of two talented young stars in Anderson and Nani not only further rejuvenates the Red Devils midfielder, but also injects fresh blood. , also gave veterans Giggs and Scholes opportunities to rotate and rest, while Tevez made Manchester United's striker more perfect. In this way, the Red Devils' technical and tactical capabilities will be further enhanced, their tactics will be richer and more diverse, and the team's enjoyment will continue to increase.
In the 07-08 season, facing Arsenal’s competition in the first half and Chelsea’s hot pursuit in the second half, the Manchester United team inspired high morale and a strong sense of teamwork. Under coach Ferguson With a series of incredible tactical decisions, Manchester United defeated their opponents in the final round of the league and finally won the 2007-08 Premier League championship with a 2-point advantage.
In the first Premier League derby of the Champions League final, he defeated Chelsea 7:6 on penalty kicks in the Champions League final and won the Champions League title. Manchester United once again won the Double and reached the top of Europe for the third time.
