The Manchester United championship team
The following table lists all players who played in a league game for Manchester United during the 1964/65 season. It must be noted that in English football a minimum number of games is usually required in order to receive the official championship medal. Since there was uncertainty about the specific regulation before the introduction of the Premier League, all players who presumably did not receive a championship medal due to their low contribution were marked with an asterisk (*). The number of missions and the goals scored are given in brackets.
| 1. | Manchester United |

John Aston * (1/0) | George Best (41/10) | Shay Brennan (42/0) | Noel Cantwell * (2/1) | Bobby Charlton (41/10) | John Connelly (42/15) | Pat Crerand (39/3) | Pat Dunne (37/0) | Tony Dunne (42/0) | John Fitzpatrick * (2/0) | Bill Foulkes (42/0) | David Gaskell * (5/0) | David Herd (37/20) | Denis Law (36/28) | Ian Moir * (1/0) | David Sadler * (6/1) | Maurice Setters * (5/0) | Nobby Stiles (41/0).
