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.

United strikers up for Ajax tie

Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck are relishing the Europa League clash with Ajax in Amsterdam.

The United strike duo will hope to form the front pairing again on Thursday after linking up well against Liverpool, with Javier Hernandez the only other striker in the travelling 20-man squad. Rooney expects Sir Alex Ferguson to field his big guns and will look to score his first-ever goals in the competition after bagging 27 so far in the Champions League.

"I’m actually really looking forward to playing in the Europa League," stressed Rooney. "It’s a new challenge for all of us and we want to win it. There’s no point being in a competition if you’re not going to try and win it and I’m sure the manager will put a strong team out. It would be great to be the first United team to win the trophy and that’s our aim."

Meanwhile, Welbeck, who has scored two goals from three starts in Europe for United, is keen to pick up plenty more valuable experience from playing against continental opposition.

"It was unexpected [being in the Europa League] because obviously we're United and we're required to qualify and get into the next round of the Champions League," Danny told ManUtd.com.

"Unfortunately we didn’t do that, we got knocked out and everyone was so down afterwards. We just want to atone by hopefully making amends in the Europa League. We’ve got an exciting tie against Ajax to come, we’re two clubs with great history and it should be a good tie home and away."

United's record in all competitions this season when Rooney and Welbeck have started together:

P    W    D    L    GF    GA
15  13    1    1    43    19

Rooney: 15 goals in 15 games
Welbeck: 6 goals in 15 games

14:50 You may have read one or two reports from England claiming Danny Welbeck and Nani left their passports at home this morning. Don't worry, though: I can confirm both players are definitely here in Amsterdam.

Wayne Rooney breaks embargo to reveal 'Switcharooney' horse name

QUOTE
user posted image

The Manchester United man's first-choice name for the two-year-old was Oceans Seven, but after finding out the name was unavailable, the striker soon settled on Switcharooney.

Within minutes of the announcement, made by the player himself despite slapping media with a gagging order until 12pm, the horse had its own Twitter page.

The nag opened its account with: 'Hi everyone. Follow me and you'll be the first to know when I'm entered for a race by my trainer @TomDascombe. Looking forward to it!'

Rooney bought two horses for a combined fee of £100,000 before Christmas and kept them at Tom Dascombe's Manor House Stables in Cheshire, which are financed by his United team-mate Michael Owen.

Rooney called one of his steeds Tomway in honour of his dad Thomas Wayne, but did not immediately name the other.

It has also been revealed that the jockey riding the England international's horse will wear pink and white silks - a decision quite possibly made by the player's wife, Coleen.

Rod Street, Chief Executive of Racing for Change, tipped the nag for big things, saying: 'You can bet that these names will go in every punter's notebook.

'Rooney has a great strike rate so it's hard to imagine that his nags won't score as well.'

oh yeah, Pogba should suffice to hold against Norwich attack

even though we lost Valencia, with the return of Young & Nani and complete set of defence (apart from Vidic);

it is a delightful news for United

I would's take them (the Canaries) lightly as they did managed to hold out at OT before 67th min when Ando scored the 1st goal and Welbeck wrapped up the game for us.

We play Ajax before Norwich biggrin.gif

Ajax will have to attack us to get back into the tie so counter attack could work for us as long as both Ashley & Nani get their match sharpness back.

Ex-Reds praise Tom

QUOTE
Former United midfield greats Nicky Butt and Bryan Robson are both looking forward to seeing more of Tom Cleverley as the season progresses.

The 22-year-old made his first appearance since October in Thursday's 2-0 win at Ajax and looks set to play a key role in the remainder of the campaign after being praised by Sir Alex in his enforced absence.

Butt and Robson, who are well placed to discuss any midfielders at Old Trafford, agree that Cleverley's ability is without question as he aims to cement a starting spot again after starting the first four 2011/2012 Barclays Premier League games.

"I've known Cleverley since he was a kid," Butt told ManUtd.com recently. "When I first started my coaching badges at United with Scholesy, Neville, Giggsy and Keaney, they were the team we were taking as 15-year-olds then.

"He was always a bright talent and, since he's been on loan, he's come back and been phenomenal really. He needs to keep working hard at it. I'm sure he will as he comes across as a good lad and he needs to listen to the manager, coaches and experienced pros. He can go anywhere really, he's got that much ability.

"Cleverley is a much better technical footballer than I ever was. It just goes to show how it's moving on with these players."

Robson, speaking to MUTV in a recent interview, admits it was disappointing that an ankle problem curtailed Cleverley's progress at a time when he was imposing himself in the top flight.

"Tom has done great," enthused the ex-England captain. "He's been very unfortunate with the injury side of it.

"He could have made a real name for himself as he was getting there but he's got time on his side. We know he's got great ability. He's got to build his reputation up and hopefully he'll become the real top player that a lot of people think he is going to be."

Manchester United's Tomasz Kuszczak loaned to Watford

Watford have signed Manchester United keeper Tomasz Kuszczak on loan until the end of the season.

The Poland international, 29, has not featured for United this season, with David de Gea and Anders Lindergaard ahead of him in the pecking order.

His last appearance came in the 1-1 draw at Blackburn last May which secured a 12th Premier League title for the Old Trafford side.

He has played 61 times for United since arriving from West Brom in 2006.

The Baggies brought Kuszczak to England from German outfit Hertha Berlin seven and a half years ago and he amassed 35 games while at the Hawthorns.

He spent the early part of his United career as deputy to Edwin van der Sar and, despite the Dutchman's retirement at the end of last season, he has failed to establish himself as a first-team regular in Sir Alex Ferguson's side.

He is expected to leave Old Trafford when his contract expires in the summer.

The Pole will battle former England Under-21 shot-stopper Scott Loach, who has had to contend with criticism from Hornets supporters in the past, for the goalkeeping berth at Vicarage Road.

Rooney out of Ajax encounter

QUOTE
Wayne Rooney is out of Thursday's Europa League tie with Ajax due to a sore throat.

The striker did not train with the main group on Wednesday and will sit out the second leg after helping United gain a two-goal advantage last week. Dimitar Berbatov is fit enough to return, however, and will compete for Rooney's place in attack.

"Rooney's out for tomorrow," said Sir Alex. "He has a bad throat. There were traces of it in Amsterdam last Thursday and he's been in bed for a lot of the weekend. He came in this morning for the first time. We're trying hard to get him ready for Sunday [at Norwich]."

Tom Cleverley is expected to play 90 minutes after being eased into his comeback in the first leg following his recovery from an ankle injury.

"Hopefully Tom will play a full game tomorrow," added Sir Alex at a press conference at Old Trafford. "He's back and it's good to have him back. He gives us more ammunition in the midfield area, which was an area some people were worried about. Anderson's back training with the first-team now as well."

The Reds will be taking nothing for granted despite the healthy lead from last Thursday's encounter.

"The experience we had against Basel, where we were 2-0 up at half-time, that's in our memories," added the boss. "I don't think we'll be casual or careless about what we're trying to achieve tomorrow but it's a good lead. You can't dispute that."
