As the world's biggest and richest club, Manchester United reach a global fanbase.

Part of the attraction for fans around the world has been the football luminaries, such as George Best and Sir Bobby Charlton, who have graced the Old Trafford turf in a Manchester United shirt over the years.

Recently, Manchester United have continued to attract or develop some of the game's biggest names, with England stalwarts such as Paul Scholes and David Beckham having been regular fixtures in the Reds line-up.

The Manchester United team, past and present, reads like a who's who of world football.

It is only fitting that a great team should grace a great stadium. And with Old Trafford's recent development and the closure of Wembley, the ground is easily the largest in English football, holding in excess of 60,000 fans.

Despite this capacity, the demand to see United in action is so great that tickets are hard to come by.

But it isn't only Manchester United fans who flock to Old Trafford. The standard of the ground is such that it regularly hosts high-profile games, most notably, the Champions League Final and Great Britain rugby league games.

Rock fans have also made use of the Reds's facilities, watching a number of high-profile acts at the ground.

But it's football that will forever be synonymous with the Reds famous ground - and with good reason.

The last decade has seen Manchester United under the shrewd leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson maintain a virtual stranglehold on the Premiership crown.

Manchester United has won the league no fewer than 18 times in their history. They are also Cup Kings too, winning the FA cup 11 times, the league cup 4 times, as well as winning the European Super Cup, European Cup Winner's Cup, and 3 times being crowned European Cup champions.

Manchester United has long become a name associated with success both on and off the pitch.

As club profits continue to grow, Manchester United have become one of the richest sports clubs on the planet.

With supporters club branches on every continent, it's hard to go any where in the world and not see somebody wearing the famous red shirt of Manchester United.

QUOTE(zenix @ Nov 24 2009, 09:18 PM)
Hope Alien will sticky this info later.
Though written in 2006 so no Roy Keane yet.

Ex-United players that have moved on to become managers.

Written by Simon Stone (MARCH 22, 2006)

STEVE BRUCE (1987-1996): Took his first steps in management with Sheffield United in 1998, then swiftly moved on to Huddersfield, Wigan and Crystal Palace. Left Selhurst Park in acrimonious fashion after Birmingham targeted him as the replacement for Trevor Francis in 1991. Took Blues into the Premier League but after a heavy FA Cup defeat is struggling to keep his job.

MARTIN POWELL (1971-1983): Stylish and well-respected Scotland centre-half whose authoritative nature appeared to make him a natural for the management game. Lasted four months at Burnley.

SIR BOBBY CHARLTON (1956-1973): Arguably the finest English player of all time proved to be an unmitigated disaster as a manager. Claimed he was not given the resources to make a decent job of it at Preston but was never lured back into management following his departure after a single season.

STEVE COPPELL (1975-1983): After a knee injury cut his playing career short at just 28, Coppell turned his attention to management. Steered Crystal Palace into the FA Cup final and then third place in the old First Division - the Eagles' highest ever - the following season. It was the first of four stints in charge at Selhurst Park in a career which has seen him move to Manchester City (for only six games), Brentford and Brighton. Now at Reading and about to steer the Royals into the top flight for the first time.

PADDY CRERAND (1962-1971): A key figure in United's 1968 European Cup triumph, Crerand lasted five months at Northampton before getting the bullet and, like Charlton, never managed again.

MARK HUGHES (1983-86, 1988-95): Hughes was never tipped as a manager by Ferguson but has taken to the game with ease. Took Wales into the Euro 2004 play-offs. Took over at Blackburn shortly afterwards, steering Rovers away from danger in his first season. Currently in contention for a Champions League spot.

BRIAN KIDD (1967-1974): Another European Cup winner who proved to be a poor manager. Got itchy feet in 1998 after spending seven years as Sir Alex Ferguson's highly-rated assistant. Took command at Blackburn but dismissed six months later.

BRYAN ROBSON (1981-94): United's inspirational leader under Ron Atkinson and Ferguson. There are two schools of thought on his stint at Middlesbrough - he either spent lots and achieved little (relegation and two losing finals) or he laid the platform for the Teessiders to become an established Premiership outfit. Kept West Brom up in extraordinary fashion last year but back in trouble again this season.

GORDON STRACHAN (1984-89): Scotland international who won the FA Cup with United and the title of the pre-Premiership era with Leeds. Sacked after five years at when the Sky Blues lost top-flight status, then enjoyed success at Southampton - reaching the 2003 Cup final - before resigning to spend more time with his family. Now at Celtic, has recovered from a humiliating Champions League exit to Artmedia Bratislava, and, after winning his first trophy on Sunday in the CIS Insurance Cup, is set to clinch the Scottish Premier League.

NOBBY STILES (1960-71): Along with Charlton, one of only two Englishmen to have won the World Cup and European Cup, he replaced his former England and United team-mate at Preston, with limited success. After a brief stint in Vancouver, returned to England to take over as manager of West Brom. Sacked after five months, having gained just three wins.

Nani admits Mourinho wish

QUOTE
Manchester United winger Nani has admitted he would like to one day be coached by Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese coach has been linked with a move for his compatriot after an impressive season with United.

And although Nani claims he is happy with the Premier League champions, the Portugal international is flattered to be linked with the Spanish giants.

"I am fine at Manchester United but it is good to hear there are other clubs interested," he said at a youth tournament in Seixal.

"Would I like to work under Mourinho? Yes, but at this moment I am fine at Manchester United."

Bitter taste

Nani admitted it has been his best campaign since joining United from Sporting Lisbon in 2007.

Yet despite playing a major role in his third title success with the Red Devils, the 24-year-old could not hide his frustration at being left out of the starting line-up for the Champions League final defeat by Barcelona last month.

"It was a very positive season for Manchester United, and my best individual campaign," he added.

"I was left with a bitter taste in my mouth after not being a starter in the Champions League final.

"I was hoping to play from the start, but it is up to the coach to decide."

The duo appear to complement each other well, much like Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic at United or Ferdinand and John Terry for England.

But Smalling claimed the pair could each do the silky and the tough stuff, saying: "I'd like to think we've both got a bit of both.

"The manager wants us both to attack and also not to give the striker an inch."

Jones relishing United challenge

QUOTE
United-bound defender Phil Jones has described his imminent move to Old Trafford as a “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity.

The Reds announced on Monday 13 June that a deal was in place with Blackburn Rovers to bring the 19-year-old to the club as soon as the Under-21 European Championships have finished.

Within 90 minutes of the announcement, Jones had addressed his fans on social networking site Twitter, writing: “I’d just like to start off by saying that I've loved my time at Blackburn and I will always be a huge fan.

“But this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I am looking forward to a new challenge. Thank you for all your kind messages.”

Soon-to-be-team-mate Michael Owen, who remains a Red for at least another year after agreeing a new deal earlier this month, welcomed the Jones deal as “great news”.

De Laet in Norwich medical

QUOTE
Skysports.com understands Norwich are closing in on the loan signing of Manchester United defender Ritchie de Laet.

De Laet impressed during loan spells with Championship trio Preston, Sheffield United and Portsmouth last season.

The 22-year-old is highly-rated at Old Trafford and United boss Sir Alex Ferguson believes a loan spell in the Premier League is the next stage in the defender's development.

A number of clubs are believed to have expressed an interest in signing De Laet, but Norwich look set to win the race for his signature.

Canaries boss Paul Lambert is thought to be a big admirer of the Belgium international and is keen to bring him to Carrow Road.

The Premier League new boys have lined up a season-long loan deal for De Laet and if the former Stoke man seals the move he will become Norwich's fourth signing of the summer following the arrivals of James Vaughan, Steve Morison and Elliott Bennett.

De Gea inspired by Van der Sar

QUOTE
Manchester United target David de Gea has revealed he wants to follow in the footsteps of veteran goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.

Sir Alex Ferguson is lining up Spanish shot-stopper De Gea to replace Van der Sar at Old Trafford after he retired at the end of last season.

And while the Atletico Madrid youngster has refused to talk about his future until after the European Under-21 Championship in Demark, he admits he is flattered to be tipped as the Dutchman's successor.

He told Gazzetta dello Sport: "The fact they are thinking of me as a replacement for such a great goalkeeper is something I like.

"But it's necessary to keep fighting and working hard because we are only at the beginning and to reach that level there is a lot more to be done.

"Let's hope (I can play like Van der Sar at his age). At the moment it's difficult to look so far ahead, but I would like to (be able to).

"I need strength, luck and to take good care of my body because football consumes you. But let's hope so."

Reports in Spain have claimed that Premier League champions United have agreed to pay Atletico a fee of €21million (£18.8m) to secure De Gea's services.

When questioned about potentially becoming one of the most expensive goalkeepers in history, De Gea replied: "It doesn't interest me, they are numbers, clauses, prices.

"The value that really counts is that which is shown on the pitch, not what they say your value is.

"Money is secondary, being so expensive is not something I like especially; I'm interested in what people think of me on the playing field."

Despite the fact he could be plying his trade at Old Trafford next season, De Gea admits he was rooting for champions Barcelona to win the UEFA Champions League final against United at Wembley last month.

He said: "(I supported) Barcelona (in the final), but without any special euphoria."

David May tells M.E.N. Phil Jones is a perfect player for Manchester United

QUOTE
David May knows exactly how Phil Jones is feeling following Manchester United’s £16.5m swoop for the England Under-21 defender.

Seventeen years ago, when the Reds’ new boy was just two-years-old, May made the same step up from Blackburn Rovers.

May was five years older than Jones and made the switch from Ewood Park to Old Trafford for a more modest £1.2m, so Sir Alex Ferguson’s 2011 summer buy from Rovers has even more to cope with as he contemplates life with the champions next season.

May joined the ’94 double-winning Dream Team and was immediately daunted by the challenge he had taken on at Old Trafford.

But he has words of comfort for Jones.

“You may have been to Old Trafford before and played there and you know it is going to be bigger than a small club like Blackburn, but it is not until you are in there that you realise how massive the club is,” May told M.E.N. Sport.

“I was over-awed by the size of the place. I walked into the dressing room where there were title and cup winners like Peter Schmeichel, Paul Ince, Mark Hughes, Roy Keane and Eric Cantona. All huge characters.

“It is an awesome situation to go into, but I can assure Phil then you get used to it. Your character eventually comes through and you start to feel more comfortable.

“I don’t know Jones, but to have impressed the way he has in the Premier League as a 19-year-old means you have to have a certain strong character about you.
Hopefully, he won’t be fazed by it.

“Despite the names and achievements of the players around, when I joined they were all still very welcoming and I am sure Phil will find that in the current dressing room.

“It’s all about the team at United and they want players to come in and feel part of it. That helps with the spirit.

“In terms of what he is walking into, you could not find anything better anywhere. You have the best boss in the business in Sir Alex Ferguson and the best players in the Premier League. You cannot buy that kind of experience.

“For a new player going to a place like Old Trafford, you could not have it better to settle you in and get you playing your natural game.

“Even though I was awestruck at first, I eventually warmed to it and fed off it. I am sure Phil will be looking forward to it in the same way and will benefit from it.

“The other great thing he’ll get is patient backing from the United fans and that is absolutely vital. They stick by their players at Old Trafford. The support trust the manager’s judgment and they are very, very patient. That is a huge help for any young newcomer.”

Like Jones, May had versatility to his game that enabled him to play right-back as well as the centre of defence.

The £16.5m capture is comfortable in the number two spot, central defence and in midfield.

“I hope he’s a better right-back than I was!” joked May.

“I have watched Phil a few times and he certainly has the right attributes. He is an out and out defender and very much in the Nemanja Vidic mould because he is strong in the air and loves a tackle. The timing of his challenges and the way he reads the game is superb.

“But not only has a Vidic look about him he also is very comfortable coming out of defence like Rio Ferdinand.
I have recently been playing in the Masters football in Barbados for a United side and was alongside Ronny Johnsen.

“We were talking about Phil and about what a good purchase he was, but I was also thinking how much he also reminded me of Ronny. Ronny was versatile. He was a great centre-half but could also fit nicely into a midfield role. I think Jones could do a job like Ronny.

“There is so much scope for him to improve. He has seen the improvement that Chris Smalling has made since he joined from Fulham. It will be great to have been able to talk to Chris with the England Under-21s about the club.

“He has seen someone he knows pretty well cope with it superbly and I am sure that will give him confidence. I’m sure Chris will also be telling him how much he’s learnt from Vidic and Ferdinand.

“To have two of the best central defenders in the world to learn from is just fantastic for any young player. Listen, look and pick their brains and you cannot go wrong.
“He can only improve – he isn’t going to get worse.

“When he finally gets to join up with the United players for pre-season he will look around that dressing room and think at 19 with a five-year Old Trafford contract that he’s the luckiest lad alive.

“I am convinced he will measure up and do United proud. £16.5m might seem a lot but I am sure we will be looking back in years to come and talking about Phil Jones being a bargain.”

Wes Brown is said to favour a move to Bolton Wanderers with his exit from Manchester United a near certainty.

Bolton eye Manchester United defender Wes Brown

QUOTE
Wes Brown could kick-start a transfer merry-go-round which would help City land Bolton’s England defender Gary Cahill!

Sunderland have been in pole position to lure the 31-year-old United defender to the Stadium of Light.

But £5m-rated Mancunian Brown is reluctant to uproot his family from Cheshire to Wearside and would find a switch to Bolton more favourable.

M.E.N. Sport understands Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is close to giving up hope of signing Brown, whose 13-year Old Trafford first-team career petered out this season following an alleged bust-up with Sir Alex Ferguson.

That has alerted Bolton boss Owen Coyle, and if he can land Brown it will pave the way for Cahill to leave, with several clubs joining City in the race for the defender.

Brown was one of a trio of Reds being chased by former United defender Bruce at Sunderland in what would have been a £12m joint deal.

Midfielder Darron Gibson is set to agree to his move, but the other member of the trio – John O’Shea – is still mulling over his options.

With Reds’ boss Sir Alex Ferguson cutting back on his fringe players, O’Shea too could fit the bill for Bolton.

Top-flight loan for De Laet

QUOTE
Ritchie De Laet's learning curve is set to continue in 2011/12 with a season-long loan at Norwich City.

By joining the newly-promoted Canaries, the versatile Belgian defender will get the chance to pit his wits against Barclays Premier League opposition every week, having previously been on loan in a lower tier. In fact, De Laet played for three different teams in the Championship last season - Preston North End, Sheffield United and Portsmouth.

An article published on Norwich's official website at 17:00 on Friday read: "Norwich City can confirm the signing of Manchester United defender Ritchie De Laet on a season-long loan, subject to the relevant paperwork being completed."

Canaries coach Paul Lambert told his club's site: "Ritchie will be great for us. He's young and one of his main strengths is pace and he comes from a great club where he's played first-team football. He'll come in and help the other lads out. He's played a lot of first team games out on loan last season and I'm sure he'll do great for us."

United Reserves coach Warren Joyce recently spoke to ManUtd.com to review De Laet's 2010/11 season out on loan.

"De Laet had an outstanding season in the Championship, I’m sure all three managers he played under were delighted with him," said Joyce.

"He produced some real high-quality performances in the Championship and looked really strong. He played in a variety of positions and ended up at right-back with Portsmouth. That's not a position where he’s played a great deal at United, either for the reserves or the first team. But he did really well there for Portsmouth. Previously he was left-back at Preston and did well, and he played in both full-back positions and at centre-back for Sheffield United so he had a good year."

Ironically De Laet's final home game for Portsmouth was against Norwich on 2 May, when the Canaries clinched promotion to the Barclays Premier League by winning 1-0.
