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.

No doubt,Man Utd is th greatest club in football at all,but how they spent their money for transfers and how they're doing now isn't really exciting.Such high predictions for last season(and nlt only that one) and as a result- a place in Europe League and only 5th position in the PL.Very dissapointing.

I don't see man utd as a big team , even when they were under sir Alex because they only won the triple once ,and the champions league only at that time , locally in the premier league maybe they are big but European I don't think so .
So I see what is happening now for them is because sir Alex retired .

Is it real man utd fans want Jose !!!! You deserve him and he deserves to be in a classy and big team like this . However I'm fed up of his boring defensive style ,but I think if he gets the players he wants , he'll change his tactics . Like what he did in his first term in Chelsea when he led the table from the first day .

Glory, glory Man.United..What a team it was for decades. While, we could have expected that it won't be the same when Ferguson left club. But, I expect them to fight for the title again. Even now red devils are dangerous though Old Traford is not unconquerable fortress anymore.
