Revision as of 19:50, 3 August 2008

Manchester United F.C. is an English professional association football club based in Trafford, Greater Manchester. The club was founded in 1878 and turned professional in 1885, before joining the Football League in 1892. Manchester United currently play in the Premier League, the top tier of English football. They have not been out of the top tier since 1975, and they have never been lower than the second tier. They have also been involved in European football ever since they became the first English club to do so in 1956.

This list encompasses the major honours won by Manchester United and records set by the club, their managers and their players. The player records section includes details of the club's leading goalscorers and those who have made most appearances in first-team competitions. It also records notable achievements by Manchester United players on the international stage, and the highest transfer fees paid and received by the club. The club's attendance records, both at Old Trafford, their home since 1910, and Maine Road, their temporary home from 1946 to 1949, are also included in the list.

All stats accurate as of match played 21 May 2008.

Honours

Manchester United's first trophy was the Manchester and District Challenge Cup, which they won in 1886.[1] Their first national senior honour came in 1908, when they won the 1907–08 Football League First Division title. The club also won the FA Cup for the first time the following year. In terms of the number of trophies won, the 1990s was Manchester United's most successful decade, during which time they won five league titles, four FA Cups, one League Cup, five Charity Shields (one shared), one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup.

The club currently holds the record for the most FA Cups, with 11, and the record for the most FA Cup Final appearances, with 18.[2] They were also the first team to win the Premier League, as well as holding the record for the most Premier League titles (10), and became the first English team to win the European Cup when they won it in 1968. Their most recent trophies came in May 2008, when they won both the Premier League and the Champions League. The only major honour that Manchester United F.C. has not yet won is the UEFA Cup.[3]
