Description

One hundred and thirty years since the club’s formation, Manchester United continue to dominate the game of football both at home and abroad. From humble beginnings, when the workers of the Newton Heath Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway first came together to play the emerging sport of football, Manchester United has acquired a special place in the hearts of supporters everywhere to become the most famous club in the world. Built on the raw talent and fighting spirit of the 'Busby Babes', who thrilled crowds all over Europe before tragedy struck in Munich, their spirit and style is still evident today, encouraged by Sir Alex Ferguson and epitomized by the modern-day superstars - Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
