Manchester United
Manchester United
Manchester Utd is the Premier League’s most successful club. They have won the Premier League a record thirteen times and the top division a total of twenty times.
- Stadium: Old Trafford
- Stadium Capacity: 74,994
- Location: Manchester
- Founded: 1880 (as Newton Heath)
- Nickname: The Red Devils
- Manager: Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
- Kit: Red shirts and socks with black shorts
Manchester was formed in 1880 but was originally called Newton Heath and played in green and yellow before they were renamed Manchester Utd in 1902 and then moved to Old Trafford in 1909. United have played in the top division for most of their history and they have only played one season (1974/75) in the second division in the last eighty years. United have won more trophies than any other club in English football. Here are the highlights:
- League Champions: 20 times (a record)
- FA Cup Winners: 5 times
- League Cup Winners: 5 times
- European Cup / Champions League: 1967/68, 1998/99 & 2007/08
- European Cup Winners’ Cup: 1990/91
- FIFA Club World Cup: 2008
Three to Watch
Here are three Manchester Utd players to keep an eye on in the Premier League this season:
Romelu Lukaku
The Belgian striker was Manchester Utd’s top scorer with 16 goals last season. Lukaku is a strong, fast target man who has already scored over 100 Premier League goals. He is also the record goalscorer for his country. He has scored over 40 goals for Belgium and helped his country to their best-ever World Cup finish (third place) at Russia 2018.
Paul Pogba
Pogba was one of the stars of the French team that won the World Cup in Russia and became the first Manchester Utd player to score in a World Cup Final. Pogba is a powerful and creative central midfielder who can also score spectacular goals. Pogba will be one of United’s most important players this season.
David De Gea
De Gea is often described as one of the world’s best goalkeepers. The Spaniard signed for Manchester Utd from Atletico Madrid in 2011 when he was just 20 years old and has now made more than 300 appearances for the club. He has won the Premier League’s Golden Glove and has been voted Manchester Utd’s Player of the Year three times.
Last season
Manchester Utd finished sixth in the Premier League last season, outside the Champions League qualifying positions and a disappointing 32 points behind their city rivals. However, after parting company with Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer, took over and started to play a much more attacking style and their fans will be hoping to see more of that change this season.
Prediction 2019/20: 4th
Fans will be hoping to compete with Manchester City this season, but with few big signings this summer they may find themselves battling for a Champions League spot again. United will need to make a strong start if they want to keep pace with the teams at the top but we see improvements at Old Trafford that will see them in the top four next May.

I have been a die hard Manchester United fan since I was a child and I will always be forever.
I love Manchester United because the style of play and because of the legend Sir Alex Ferguson who I consider as a father figure for me.
Although I love all the former and current players but if I could choose a couple from each era , it would be like this :
My favourite former players are legends David Beckham & Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
My favourite current players are Marcus Rashford & Bruno Fernandes.
I reckon that we will finish 3rd or 4th and we'll qualify to the Champions League next season.

I am a United fan.
Great players have played for Manchester United through time. Among them, Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best and Dennis Law.
I try to see all United's matches.
In my opinion Manchester United should buy two goal scorers like Mbappe and Cavani.
I would like to see Massimiliano Allegri as a manager because he is a winner person.

Manchester United is one of the biggest clubs in the world. I am a United fan since a child, when Cristiano Ronaldo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rio Ferdinand or Edwin van der Sar were playing for the Red Devils.
Man Utd have very good players but not a good team, or not a champion team. Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Harry Maguire are the stars on this season. Hope Alexis Sanchez come back and make history at Old Trafford.
I think Manchester United will finish at 4th, overcoming Chelsea if the season return after coronavirus crisis. So I agree with your predictions.

I’m a Manchester United fan, i support them since late ninethies.
I went to Old Trafford 10 years ago when Sir Alex was the manager. It’s hard to describe but that’s just changed my life in too many ways.
2019/2020 Manchester United will come on top and win the Premiere League and UEFA.

Hello,
My story with MU began in 2010 when I met a guest (today he's my friend) in the hotel where I used to work. He is Scottish and he used to come to Brazil 6 times per year in order to work.
Once he asked, which Premier League's do you support? I told him Arsenal, he said "Crap", you have to support The Red Devils. Since then I'm an MU fan.
Best regards,
João Wolff.
