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.

Arjen Robben compares Man Utd's approach to a handball team

Bayern Munich's Arjen Robben has compared Manchester United's deep-lying defence in their home Champions League last-eight tie to a handball team.

United had only 26% possession at Old Trafford but Nemanja Vidic's header earned a 1-1 draw in the first leg.

"We wanted to play football but they tried to stop us, just playing on the counter-attack, it was almost like handball," said winger Robben.

Handball teams often use all seven players in a tightly-packed defence.

The tactic forms a barrier in front of goal, aiming to limit the attack's scoring opportunities rather than regaining possession.

"It was not easy, as Manchester United played very defensively and didn't leave any gaps," added the 30-year-old, who played for Chelsea between 2004 and 2007.

Robben's manager Pep Guardiola made a similar observation after the match.

"When you see the second half and you see nine players in the box, it is not easy," the Spaniard said. "It's important that we controlled so well in this situation and we played with patience and found the goal."

Bayern Munich midfielder Toni Kroos, who played 74 minutes of the game before being replaced by Mario Gotze, told Munich newspaper TZ  that although he was impressed by Old Trafford, he will not push for a move to United.

"It is a beautiful stadium, but I belong to Bayern Munich," the 24-year-old said.

Kroos, who is yet to agree an extension to a contract that expires in the summer of 2015, has been linked with a move to Manchester United.

Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has said the German champions will hold Kroos to the final year of his current deal, ruling out any move at the end of this season.

So we have now became a "handball" team eh? laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Manchester United have been watching Sporting Lisbon midfielder William Carvalho all season.

Latest reports in Portugal suggest Manchester United scouts will be in attendance on Saturday when Sporting Lisbon take on Bebe’s side Pacos de Ferreira.

Some newspaper reports have even suggested that a deal for William Carvalho is all but done, with his agent Jorge Mendes already fixed up the deal with Manchester United.

Now it appears that even Google think Carvalho has signed for David Moyes’ side…

Stick “Man Utd squad” into Google and the picture above is what appears!

26 years of Manchester United history immortalised in handwritten Sir Alex Ferguson portrait

A piece of artwork isn’t normally something you’d use as a reference guide, but this picture by Annemarie Wright blows Wikipedia out of the water.

The visual artist has produced a handwritten portrait of Sir Alex Ferguson, made up of the names of every player to have played under the Scot at Manchester United during his 26-year reign.

Featuring the likes of club legends Wayne Rooney, Peter Schmeichel and Ryan Giggs, United fans may be left scratching their heads to remember appearances from Phil Marsh, Ben Thornley and Richard Eckersley – and wishing they could forget Luke Chadwick and Massimo Taibi…

‘Fergie’ features the names of 218 Manchester United players who represented the club between November 1986 and May 2013.

Ms Wright told Metro: ‘I was inspired to do this because my dad is a huge Manchester United fan, so I have been brought up with the Red Devils.

‘The piece took three weeks to complete and is all in my own handwriting.’

David Moyes: Sacked Man Utd boss thanks Ferguson for chance

David Moyes has thanked Sir Alex Ferguson for giving him the chance to manage Manchester United.

In his first public statement since his dismissal on Tuesday, Moyes said results had not been what he wanted.

"Performances and results have not been what Manchester United expect," said the 50-year-old Scot. " I understand and share their frustration."

"I remain grateful to Sir Alex for believing in my ability and giving me the chance to manage United."

More to follow.

Man Utd: Sir Alex Ferguson to help select David Moyes's replacement

Sir Alex Ferguson will play a key role choosing David Moyes's replacement as Manchester United manager.

Moyes, who was hand-picked by Ferguson as his successor last year, was sacked on Tuesday after 10 months in charge.

Ferguson will be part of a selection panel consisting of every Manchester United board member.

The League Managers Association has also issued its own statement claiming United had acted in an "unprofessional manner".

Intense speculation surfaced on Monday afternoon that Moyes was going to be sacked, but it was not until a meeting with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward on Tuesday morning that he discovered his fate.

"The LMA is very disappointed with the nature of David's departure from Manchester United and to read extensive reports in the press, confirming David's sacking, before David himself had been spoken to officially by the club," said LMA chief executive Richard Bevan.

"Throughout his time at United, David, as he always does, has conducted himself with integrity and professionalism, values that he believes in and that have been strongly associated with the club and its rich tradition.

"It is therefore sad to see the end of David's tenure at United being handled in an unprofessional manner."

Giggs said he couldn't yet think about taking over from Moyes on a longer-term basis, although joking that he had already given himself a new deal as a player.

"I'm just concentrating on the four games remaining," he added. "That's my main focus, the focus on tomorrow against Norwich, which is going to be tough game as they are fighting for their lives. After that I've not really thought about.

"I've just given myself a new five-year contract so I am using my power while I can. I haven't done much this week but I am still involved as a player as well and I've trained OK."

Ryan demands passion play

Ryan Giggs wants his Manchester United team to play with the hallmarks of his own illustrious career.

The Reds’ interim boss is preparing the players for their first game since he took charge earlier this week, and he is demanding that the Old Trafford fans see a United side imbued with the kind of flair, confidence and work ethic we associate with Ryan himself.

“It's going to be my philosophy, the Manchester United philosophy as I've been here for all of my career,” said Ryan at Friday’s press conference.

“I want players to play with passion, speed, tempo and be brave with imagination,  all the things that are expected of a Manchester United player. To work hard but, most of all, enjoy it. As a player I know if I'm enjoying the game I can express myself a lot more and that's what I'll be asking the team to do tomorrow.

“I'll tell the players just to try to enjoy yourself, express yourself. My immediate aim is to win on Saturday and I felt the way to do that was to make training as enjoyable as I can so they can go out and play. I think we have done that.”

Giggs accepts that United’s season has not reached the standards he would expect, but he is keen to take advantage of three consecutive home games – against Norwich, Sunderland and Hull – to give the Old Trafford faithful a lift before the trip to Southampton closes the campaign on Sunday 11 May.

“It's been a frustrating season for everyone,” he added. “But we win together and lose together and in these remaining four games, I want to bring the positivity back. We have three home games at Old Trafford, where the form hasn't been great, and I want to see goals, tackles, players taking players on and getting the crowd up. I want the passion that should come with being a Manchester United player.”

Giggs impressed by response

Ryan Giggs was delighted to oversee Manchester United's 4-0 victory over Norwich on Saturday, his first as interim manager, and said walking out at Old Trafford in this new capacity made him feel "10 feet tall".

"I was nervous, but as soon as I came out of the tunnel the reception I got, the staff got and the players got was brilliant," he told MUTV. "I've got to thank the fans for that because it’s not been an easy week, but I felt ten feet tall."

Goals from Wayne Rooney and Juan Mata handed United the win, although the Reds were frustrated for the majority of the first half. Giggs says he encouraged attacking football at the break, and was full of praise for the response shown in the second period.

“We looked like scoring goals and creating chances," he told Sky Sports. "In the first half, we were a little bit slow, so I just reminded the players that the tempo needed to be quicker and they reacted well to that.

“They’re all good players and all of us have let ourselves down this year. We haven’t played to the level that we’re capable of this season, but we did that today. I said yesterday that it can’t just be for one game,  it has to be for longer than that. Every time you play for Manchester United you have to stay at that level, and they have to keep to these standards against Sunderland.

Asked about the task of choosing his side ahead of the game at Old Trafford, the Reds legend explained that he found the decision difficult: “I didn’t sleep last night. Leaving the likes of Juan Mata out of the starting 11 was a difficult decision, it was a position I’d never been in before. I’m interim manager, but I’m also one of their team mates, so leaving them out was tough.

"I told them all individually before the game, a few of them were upset and rightly so. But they didn’t sulk; you saw the response of Juan. That’s a true professional, to not moan and come on to produce a performance like that for half an hour.

“I said before the game that I could have played two teams, because the response of the players has been brilliant, I trust them all. It was really difficult to choose the team, but Rio [Ferdinand] and Nemanja [Vidic] have got that experience, as well as Patrice [Evra]. I wanted experience in the team, because I knew that it would be an emotionally-charged day and that we wouldn’t have it all our own way. Norwich are fighting for their lives,  I know these players and they didn’t let me down.

The victory marked United's biggest home win of the season but Giggs is not getting carried away: “I’m just thinking about these three games. It has taken so much out of me this week that I haven’t really thought about the future. My job now is to get ready for Sunderland. They’ve just told me that I’ve got this job for four games. It’s one down, and three to go, and as far as I’m concerned that’s where my concentration is. I’ll do the job to the best of my ability and then afterwards we will have to see what happens."

As for his future as a player, Giggs suggested he will soon make a return to the pitch: “I haven’t had time to train this week, I haven’t had the energy. I’m going to start training on Monday, I knew that last week would be busy but I’ll be back on the pitch and I can’t wait."
