History & Legacy
Founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club, the team became Manchester United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910. Sir Matt Busby rebuilt the club after the 1958 Munich air disaster, laying the foundation for Sir Alex Ferguson's extraordinary 26-year reign, which brought 13 Premier League titles and the historic 1999 treble of league, FA Cup and Champions League. United have won 20 English top-flight titles overall, tied with Liverpool for the most in English football history.
