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.

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.

Rio's return vital for Stoke trip

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson is counting on Rio Ferdinand’s experience when United meet Stoke City at the Britannia on Saturday.

The Reds defender, who has started only two of the team’s five league fixtures this term and missed last weekend’s 3-1 win against Chelsea with a calf strain, will provide United a big boost should he be fit to face the Potters.

Trips to Stoke are notoriously tough, with the home fans among the league’s most vociferous and Tony Pulis’ players providing robust, physical opposition. And although the Reds have won on every trip to the Britannia since Stoke were reinstated to the top flight in 2008, no victory has come easy.

“I’m hoping Rio will be okay for Saturday,” Sir Alex said, speaking exclusively to ManUtd.com. “When you go to Stoke you need a bit of experience.

“Rio came into the team when we played at Bolton and gave us that experience, so we hope he'll be fit for Saturday."

The manager was less optimistic about Chris Smalling’s chances of playing on Saturday evening, however, admitting the young defender was “a doubt” after limping off with a groin injury midway through the Chelsea match.

The secret behind Wazza's great form this season! laugh.gif

Rooney: My form is down to barber's magic powers

QUOTE
He's the, er, mane man in football right now – and Wayne Rooney reckons his superb ball skills are all down to his barber...

The Manchester United and England striker seems to have regained his form ever since that £30,000 hair transplant a few months ago left him sprouting a head of surprisingly luscious locks.

In fact, the Samson of soccer has such an abundance of hair he gets it trimmed before EVERY match.

Rooney, 25, believes the “magical powers” of hair-whisperer Mr Daniel J have helped him score two consecutive hat-tricks.

“Daniel J always keeps me looking sharp," he said. "And when I look sharp, I feel sharp. I don’t know what it is but it’s like his haircuts have magical powers because every time he gives me a trim I seem to go and score.”

Rooney has even got United teammate Rio Ferdinand and Spurs’ Jermain Defoe using his lucky celeb crimper, too.

“All the lads have been asking me for Daniel’s number," he added. "Of course I’m not giving it out to the [Manchester] City boys.”

Back in June, Rooney posted a picture of his bloody bonce on Twitter , and admitted: “I’ve had a hair transplant. I’m delighted. It will take a few months to grow.”

Three months later and while he’s still not quite got a Leo Sayer-esque mop of curls, there is definitely a lot more up top than there was.

Hernandez fit for Stoke clash

Javier Hernandez escaped serious injury against Chelsea last weekend and could even feature for United against Stoke City on Saturday.

There were grave fears for the Mexican striker's health after an Ashley Cole challenge left Hernandez writhing in agony on the Old Trafford turf.

"At the time it happened, he had no feeling in the leg. There was numbness and and we thought there might have been some nerve damage," Sir Alex told media at his pre-match press conference. But Hernandez resumed training on Thursday and Sir Alex confirmed: "He's available for tomorrow."

The boss also hopes to be able to call on Rio Ferdinand to bolster United's defence against a Stoke side he says has "made phenomenal progress" over the last few years. The England international missed last Sunday's clash with Chelsea with a calf injury but has trained this week and is ready to return.

"Hopefully I’ll have Rio tomorrow," Sir Alex said. His experience away from home in a game like this is always important. We’ve got a slight doubt about Chris Smalling – we’ll see what he’s like this morning. If he’s back we’re covered well for it."

It's not all good news, though. Nemanja Vidic, who suffered a calf injury in United's opening-weekend win at West Bromwich Albion, still hasn't resumed training. "He's making slow progress. He's still having treatment."

United to issue statement

QUOTE
Manchester United will be issuing an official statement in response to Owen Hargreaves' comments that appeared in the morning's press.

The City midfielder's interview regarding his struggle to overcome injury at Old Trafford came in the wake of his goalscoring debut for his new club in the Carling Cup against Birmingham.

"We've been trying to analyse all the stuff he’s said this morning and we'll release a club statement later today to address that," revealed Sir Alex.

"As far as I’m concerned, my medical staff are one of the main reasons Manchester United has been so successful. We’ve got fantastic medical staff and great sport scientists. Do you think we’d be successful if we didn’t have an operation that wasn’t 100 per cent and handled absolutely brilliantly? The doctor and his five physios and sports science guys are fantastic.

"That’s my opinion on Manchester United and that’s more important than what anyone else has got to say about it. We’ll have a club statement later to address the issue of what he said."

Michael Owen mocked by United team-mates over his love of jigsaws

QUOTE
Michael Owen's locker at Manchester United was defaced with a 'boring' sticker after a team-mate got his hands on a magazine clipping that revealed the  veteran striker enjoyed completing 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzles.

Owen was not too impressed when he found the sticker and called for the culprit to be outed on Twitter.

'Who is responsible for abusing my locker?,' wrote the former Real Madrid ace.

'Wouldn't mind but I gave up doing my daughter's jigsaw after ten minutes!'

The striker once uploaded a photo of jigsaw pieces scattered across a table, saying he was 'about to embark on the biggest challenge of his life'.

The challenge turned out to be a 1000-piece horse-inspired puzzle, and although he battled for hours, the former England hitman was eventually defeated by the mammoth jigsaw.

But now it seems his Manchester United pals have found out and are not going to let him off the hook for a pastime they clearly view as a snooze fest.

Owen's locker was plastered with a cut out of the jigsaw story from Nuts magazine, along with a note that had four Z's on it along with an exclamation mark.

Strike duo back for Norwich visit

QUOTE
Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez will both return from injury for Saturday's Barclays Premier League visit of Norwich City.

Sir Alex delivered the good news at his Friday press conference at Carrington, where he also indicated Jonny Evans could be fit to take his place in the back four.

Rooney, who has scored nine goals in his first five league games this term, hasn't played since the 3-1 win over Chelsea on 18 September, while Hernandez came off with a dead leg early in last weekend's draw against Stoke.

The Norwich game comes too soon for Nemanja Vidic, Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling, who should be back for the trip to Liverpool on 15 October.

"Wayne and Hernandez are fit for tomorrow," Sir Alex said. "They trained very well yesterday, which is pleasing.

"We'll hopefully have Jonny Evans back too. At the moment we're making too many changes in the back four so hopefully his return will help us with the defensive part.

"Vidic, Cleverley and Smalling should be ready after the internationals and available for Liverpool."

After United's 20-game winning run at Old Trafford in all competitions came to an end with the surprise Champions League draw with Basel on Tuesday, Sir Alex will be keen to avoid a repeat this weekend, when the Reds can still set a new club record of 19 straight home league wins.

"People will say our performance was careless [against Basel] and that we underestimated our opponents," the Reds boss added. "I think there's an element of truth in that and we have to do better defensively."

Carlos Tevez's alleged refusal to play for Manchester City has dominated the back pages this week, with the media garnering reaction from anyone and everyone in the football world.

Sir Alex did not want to dwell on the subject but said of City's boss: "I think Roberto Mancini has come out and shown his strength of character and strength as a manager which is important in today's management.

"We've all experienced our own difficulties in management and you cope with it as best you can. My only experience is strong management is important. There's no-one more important than the manager at a football club."

Vidic suggests he's ready to quit internationals after Serbia fail to qualify for Euro 2012

QUOTE
Nemanja Vidic has indicated he will retire from international football after Serbia's failure to qualify for Euro 2012.

The Manchester United defender missed a second-half penalty as his country chased a win in Slovenia that would have guaranteed a place in the play-offs.

Instead Serbia were defeated 1-0 by Dare Vrsic's first-half goal, which signals the end of Dejan Stankovic's international career and, seemingly, that of Vidic.

'It's time for a change of generations, and for some older players to say goodbye to Serbian kit,' said Vidic, which was widely interpreted in his homeland as a personal farewell to national service.

He added he was disappointed that he would never get to play in the European Championship. Such a move is likely to be welcomed by Old Trafford boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

Vidic was making his first appearance since injurying a calf in United's opening game of the Barclays Premier League season.

For a man who has scored just twice in 56 caps, it was a surprise when Vidic stepped up to take the 63rd-minute spot kick - but no surprise when giant Slovenia keeper Samir Handanovic saved it.

Vidic said: 'I took responsibility and I am aware of the consequences of a poorly executed penalty. If I had scored the game would have taken an entirely different course. So we are where we are.'

While Vidic's retirement at 29 seems premature, Stankovic's was less of a surprise.

The 33-year-old Inter Milan midfielder earned his 102nd cap with the game against Slovenia - joining Savo Milosevic as Serbia's most-capped player - but indicated he may play in one more friendly to break the record.

Becks would relish Utd role

QUOTE
David Beckham would 'love' the opportunity to return to Manchester United as a sporting director.

The former England captain won a Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League Treble with the Old Trafford club in 1999.

But Beckham was sold to Real Madrid in 2003 after a reported breakdown in his relationship with United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Reports in France are currently linking the 36-year-old with a move to wealthy Paris St Germain as a player as he nears the end of his current contract with LA Galaxy.

But Beckham has never made any secret of his desire to one day go back to United and he would even be prepared to occupy a role behind the scenes.

Having watched former Real Madrid team-mate Zinedine Zidane take up a similar role at the Bernabeu, Beckham said with regard to United: "I'd love to do that.

"The best memory of my career came in 1999, no doubt, when Manchester United won the Treble.

"In my opinion, no club can repeat that feat."

Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson has no plans to retire

Ferguson has been awarded an honorary degree for his 25 years at United

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson says he no longer thinks about retiring and is looking forward to bringing further success to the club.

The 69-year-old is celebrating 25 years as United boss but has intimated he would step down if his health or hunger for the job deteriorated.

"I just don't think about retirement any more," said Ferguson.

"We've got a good young team and a lot of youth at the club as well as some tremendous staff. The future is good."

Ferguson added: "When you've been on the treadmill for so long, 25 years in my case, and my health is good at the moment, it's just a matter of looking forward to being the manager of Manchester United, rather than worrying about Alex Ferguson.

"The great part for me is still to be out on the field with the players and coaching them. As the game has changed, I have had to change with it. For example, sports science in the last decade has seen a phenomenal improvement and that has become a major development in the game."

The Scot, who was speaking at a ceremony where he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Manchester for his quarter of a century at Old Trafford, added: "I think it's always nice to be appreciated and recognised, and getting this recognition is testimony to all the hard work that has gone on at Manchester United in the last 25 years, not just by me, but by everyone at the club."

Since joining United from Aberdeen in November 1986, Ferguson has become the most decorated coach in British football.

He has won the Premier League title 12 times, the FA Cup on five occasions, four League Cup finals, two Champions League triumphs and also the now-defunct European Cup Winners' Cup.

University of Manchester deputy president and deputy vice-chancellor Professor Rod Coombs, who was also in attendance at Tuesday's ceremony, said: "These two and a half decades of the Ferguson era at United have coincided with - and been a big part of - the renaissance of this city. That renaissance has been manifest in industry, in commerce, in architecture, in the arts, in our university, and in sport.

"Of course we are blessed with two great football clubs here, but today we are celebrating the achievements of one manager who has made a unique contribution at Manchester United, and through that, a unique contribution to the city of Manchester and its prominence in the world.

"Every citizen of Manchester, every business in Manchester, and everything that comes out of Manchester, has an extra visibility and an instant recognition factor all over the world.

"The sustained success of Manchester United is such a potent driver of that phenomenon. And the reason it has been sustained for so long is standing here on the platform today. His achievements are truly unique."

Question mark over Vidic

QUOTE
Sir Alex Ferguson is pondering whether to hand captain Nemanja Vidic his United return at Liverpool on Saturday.

The centre-back played for Serbia on Tuesday night in Slovenia after being sidelined since the opening weekend win at West Brom and the length of his absence is causing the boss to place a question mark over his involvement at Anfield.

The final decision could come down to how the player feels in himself, although Jonny Evans has performed well and is a reliable alternative for the boss as he's available after missing the recent Northern Ireland internationals with an ankle problem.

"The big question mark is whether Vidic is ready," said the boss at his pre-match press conference. "He has his first game for Serbia on Tuesday. It’s certainly a consideration because he’s such a great competitor. He came in yesterday and felt okay. But the Liverpool game is such an intense, stamina-draining game that you want everyone to be 100 per cent so it might be more down to how he feels himself.

"Jonny Evans’s form has been absolutely brilliant so I don’t have any real concerns about who I play because they’re all playing well."

Tom Cleverley is still not fit enough to be considered for the match on Merseyside but there's encouraging news on right-back Rafael, who is back in full training ahead of schedule. No other fresh injuries were picked up during the international break, which Sir Alex describes as a "blessing" particularly with Fabio, Ashley Young and Patrice Evra all suffering knocks last Friday.
