on September 28, 1902. Mangnall working hard to lift the team to
Division One and failed at the first attempt, ranks 5 League Division
Two. Mangnall
decided to add some players to the club, and signed players such as
Harry Moger, Dick Duckworth, and John Picken, there is also Charlie
Roberts who made the biggest impact. He bought £ 750 from Grimsby Town in April 1904, and brought the team into the top three standings late in the season 1903-1904.They then promoted to Division One after finishing diurutan two Division Two 1905-06 season. Their first season in Division One ended poorly, they rank eighth standings. Before
they finally won their first league title in 1908. Manchester City
being investigated for hire players on regulations set FA. They were fined £ 250 and eighteen of their players punished should not be playing for them again. United were quick to take advantage of this situation, recruited Billy Meredith and Sandy Turnbull, and others. The new players should not be playing before the New year 1907, as a result of the suspension from the FA. They began playing in the 1907-08 season and United took aim for the title. A 2-1 win over Sheffield United start winning streak to ten times United. But in the end, they close the season with a 9-point advantage of their rivals, Aston Villa.The
club took two years to bring the trophy more silverware, winning the
First Division for the second time in the 1910-11 season. United moved into his new field Old Trafford. They played their first game at Old Trafford on February 19, 1910 against Liverpool, but lost 4-3. They
did not get the trophy again in the 1911-12 season, they are not
supported by Mangnall again because he moved to Manchester City after 10
years with United. After that, they played 41 years without winning a trophy.In
1922, three years after the resumption of football following the First
World War, the club was relegated to the Second Division, where it
remained until regaining promotion in 1925. Relegated again in 1931,
Manchester United became a yo-yo club, reaching all-time
lowest position of 20th place in the second Division in 1934. After the
death of the club's principal benefactor, JH Davies, in October 1927,
the club's finances deteriorated to the extent that Manchester United
are likely to go bankrupt if not for James W. Gibson, in December 1931, investing £ 2,000 and took control of the club. [20] in the

He
asked for something unusual in his work, such as appoint his own team,
choose which players will be recruited themselves and determine the
schedule of training the players themselves. She
had lost her job at another club manager, Liverpool F.C., because the
work that he wanted it felt to officials Liverpool is the work of a
director, but the United provides the opportunity for innovative ideas. First, Busby was not a player, but an assistant manager named Jimmy Murphy. The
decision pointed to Busby as manager is a very appropriate decision,
Busby pay the trust board to escort United into second place in the
league in 1947, 1948 and 1949 and won the FA Cup in 1948. Stan Pearson,
Jack Rowley, Allenby Chilton, and Charlie Mitten had contributed great in United's achievement.Matt Busby statue.Charlie
Mitten return to Colombia to seek better pay, but the ability of senior
players United have not declined and the club won the First Division in
1952. Busby knew, that the soccer team not only requires experience of
his players, then, he is also thought to include some players young. First
of all, the young players such as Roger Byrne, Bill Foulkes, Mark Jones
and Dennis Viollet, took time to show their best game, consequently
United slipped to eighth in 1953, but the team won the league in 1956
with a team average age players just 22 years, scored 103 goals. Policies
on young players have delivered it into one of the most successful
managers deal with Manchester United (the mid-1950s, mid-late 1960s and
1990s). Busby has talented players named Duncan Edwards. The
boy from Dudley, West Midlands play his debut at age 16 in 1953, said
that Edwards could play at any position, and many who saw him play said
that he was the best player. The following season, 1956-57, they won the league again and reached the FA Cup final, losing to Aston Villa. They became the first English team to participate in the European Champions Cup competition, at the discretion of the FA. Last season, Chelsea's FA cancels the right to appear in the Champions Trophy. United can reach the semi-finals and then denied Real Madrid. On his way to the semi-final, United also recorded a win that still
showed that they are a great team, beating Belgian champions Anderlecht
10-0 at Maine Road.A plate of memories at Old Trafford as a tribute to the players who died in the tragedy of Munich.Tragedy
struck the following season, when the plane carrying the team home from
a European Cup match crashed on landing in Munich, Germany to refuel. Tragedy
München 1958 dated February 6, 1958 claimed the lives of eight-team
players - Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark
Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor and Liam "Billy" Whelan - and 15 other
passengers, including United staff, Walter
Crickmer, Bert Whalley and Tom Curry. [21] There were 2 landings before
the third fatal error occurs, the resulting instability of the best
speed for their mud. United
goalkeeper Harry Gregg maintaining awareness of the accident is
currently under fear and the plane will explode, save Bobby Charlton and
Dennis Viollet by tightening the seat belt. Seven United players menginggal world in place while Duncan Edwards died when a trip to the hospital. Right wing Johnny Berry also survived the accident, but injuries make his football career ended quickly. Doctors München say that Matt Busby did not have much hope, but he
recovered miraculously and finally out of the hospital after two months
of treatment in the hospital.There
are rumors that the team will resign from the competition, but Jimmy
Murphy taking over as manager while Busby admitted to hospital, the club
continued competition. Despite losing players, they reached the FA Cup final in 1958, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers. The
end of the season, UEFA offered the FA to submit both United and the
league champions Wolverhampton Wanderers to participate in the European
Cup as a tribute to the victims of the accident, but the FA declined. United managed to push Wolves in the league next season and finish second in the standings; not bad for a team that lost nine players due to the tragedy of Munich.Busby rebuilt the team in the early decades of the 60's, to buy players such as Denis Law and Pat Crerand. Perhaps the most famous of a number of young players this is a young man named George Best Belfast. Best has keatletikkan very rare. The team won the FA Cup in 1963, although only finish diurutan 19 Division One. The
success in the FA Cup to make players be motivated and make the club
lifted in the second league in 1964, and won the league in 1965 and
1967. United won the European Champions Cup in 1968, beating Eusébio's
side SL Benfica 4-1 dipertandingan final, becomes Britain's first team who won the competition. United team when it has a European Footballer, namely: Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best. Matt Busby resigned in 1969 and was replaced by reserve team coach, Wilf McGuinness.1969-1986A smiling man with dark hair wearing a white, green and blue tracksuit top over a blue shirt. He is holding a washbag under his right arm.Bryan Robson was the captain of Manchester United for 12 years, longer than any other player. [22]After
the glorious, United experiencing difficult times when handled Wilf
McGuinness, finished diurutan eight league in the 1969-70 season. Then he started the 1970-71 season with the bad, so McGuinness back down the ranks to become reserve team coach. Busby returned to coach United, although only 6 months. Under the tutelage of Busby, United gets better results, but in the
end he left the club in 1971. In that time, United lost several key
players such as Nobby Stiles and Pat Crerand.Celtic
manager who managed to bring the Champions League to Glasgow, Jock
Stein, was appointed to fill the position of manager - Stein had agreed a
verbal contract with United, but decided against -. Frank O'Farrell was appointed as Busby's successor. Like
McGuinness, O'Farrell did not last more than 18 months, the difference
is only O'Farrell reacted to cope with the poor performances of United
by bringing new faces into the club, the most obvious is the recruitment
of Martin Buchan from Aberdeen for £ 125,000. Tommy
Docherty became manager at the end of 1972. Docherty, or "Doc", saved
United from relegation but United were relegated in 1974, which at that
time the trio of Best, Law and Charlton had left the club. Denis Law moved to Manchester City in the summer of 1973. Players like
Lou Macari, Stewart Houston and Brian Greenhoff recruited to replace
Best, Law and Charlton, but did not return any results.The
team won promotion in his first year in Division Two, with a major role
Steve Coppell talented young players who played well in his first
season with United, joined from Tranmere Rovers. United reached the FA Cup Final in 1976, but they were defeated Southampton. They reached the final again in 1977 and beat Liverpool 2-1. Within this success, Docherty was dismissed because it is known to have a relationship with the wife of physiotherapy.Dave Sexton replaced Docherty in the summer of 1977 and made the team play more defensive. This playing style is not favored supporters, they prefer an attacking style Docherty and Busby. Sexton
bought some players like Joe Jordan, Gordon McQueen, Gary Bailey and
Ray Wilkins, but can not penetrate the lift United to the top flight,
only once finished out second, and only once qualified for the final of
the FA Cup, Arsenal defeated. Because it is not earned, Sexton was sacked in 1981, even though he won his last seven matches.He replaced the flamboyant manager Ron Atkinson. He broke the British transfer record in the buying Bryan Robson from West Brom. Robson is said to be the best center after the death of Duncan Edwards. Tim
Atkinson has new players such as Jesper Olsen, Paul McGrath and Gordon
Strachan playing alongside Norman Whiteside and Mark Hughes. United
won the FA Cup two times in three years, in 1983 and 1985, and favored
to win the league the 1985-86 season after winning their first 10 league
games, opening a gap of 10 points with his nearest rival until October
1986. Appearances United became worse and United ended season at No. 4 standings. Bad results United continued until the end of the season and with poor
results is at the threshold limit of degradation, in November 1986,
Atkinson was sacked.Alex Ferguson Era (1986-2013)Alex Ferguson handle the team between 1986 and 2013.Alex Ferguson came from Aberdeen to replace Atkinson and deliver the
club to 11th position next season, namely the 1987-88 season, United
finished the league in second, with Brian McClair became a printer 20
league goals after George Best.United had a difficult time the next two seasons. With the purchase of players considerable, Ferguson can not meet the expectations of fans. Alex
Ferguson has been in danger of dismissal in early 1990, but a goal from
Mark Robins took United a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest FA Cup third
dibabak. It makes Ferguson was saved and eventually United won the FA Cup, beating Crystal Palace in the final round birthday party.United won the Cup Winners' Europe in 1990-91, beating the Spanish
champions that season, Barcelona in the final, but disappointing in the
league next season because they lost to rivals Leeds United.The arrival of Eric Cantona in November 1992 is a crucial step United at the time. Cantona mingle together players and won the FA Cup Final Manchester United became champions made two in the league and FA Cup. Ferguson made the fans upset that sell some players Some of them directly elected to the England national team. Surprisingly, United again won the double in the 1995-96 season. This is the first time an English club won the double twice and finally they have called "Double Double". [23]They won the league in 1996-97 season and Eric Cantona declared

fail in European competition and United finished the league in third in
the standings. They
