Manchester United Biography

The Manchester United soccer club was first started as Newton Heath L&YR F.C in the year 1878. However later in the year 1902, the name was changed to Manchester United. After the initiation of the soccer team, they won the Division One title, which was then known as the FA cup. This is the records of the team in the year 1909. Later they again won another title in the year 1911. In the year 1945, Matt Busby became the manager of the Manchester United team. Under him, the team won championship leagues in the year 1952, 1956 and 1957. Later the club became the first club to play in the European cup and got the fame to reach up to the semi finals.
