39. Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club, based
in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, that plays in the Premier League. Founded
as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester
United in 1902 and moved to Old Trafford in 1910.
The 1958 Munich air disaster claimed the lives of eight players. In 1968, under the
management of Matt Busby, Manchester United was the first English football club to win
the European Cup. The current manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has won 24 major honours
since he took over in November 1986.
41. Sir Alexander Matthew "Matt"
Busby, CBE, KCSG (26 May 1909 – 20
January 1994) was a Scottish football
player and manager, most noted for
managing Manchester United between 1945
and 1969 and again for the second half of
the 1970–1971 season. His manager
records and longevity at the helm of
Manchester United are only surpassed by
Sir Alex Ferguson.
Before going into management, Busby was
a player for two of Manchester United's
greatest rivals, Manchester City and
Liverpool. During his time at City, Busby
played in two FA Cup Finals, winning one of
them. After his playing career was
interrupted by the Second World
War, Busby was offered the job of assistant
coach at Liverpool, but they were unwilling
to give him the control over the team that
he wanted and he took the vacant
manager's job at Manchester United
instead.

manager in their history after over taking Sir Matt Busby's record on 19 December
2010. His tenure is also the longest of all the current League managers. During this
time, Ferguson has won many awards and holds many records including
winning Manager of the Year most times in British football history. In 2008, he
became the third British manager to win the European Cup on more than one
occasion. He was knighted in 1999 for his services to the game
