admin — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 06:23:45 +0000

The Manchester United have come a long way from where they began their club. Started in 1878 as a team for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Health, they are now one of the most popular football teams in the world. Who could guess that this team once faced disbanding because of money issues, going two thousand and two hundred pounds into debt in 1902. The Manchester United then moved to a new location, Old Trafford Stadium, thanks to an investment by J.H. Davies which kept them afloat until they were promoted to the First Division.

There are several hotels near the Old Trafford Stadium. Hotels near the the Stadium include Copthorne Hotel Manchester, Holiday Inn Express Manchester-Salford Quays, and Ramada Manchester Salford Quays just to name a few. Any of these are a great place to stay when one wishes to catch a Manchester United game.

The history of the Manchester United is steeped in drama, as the team has faced many ups and downs throughout its tenure. Two years after becoming members of the First Division they were champions of that division. Yet, within ten years the club dropped back down to the Second Division, losing steam.

A few seasons before the onset of World War II the Manchester United fought their way back to Division One. In the mid 1950's the Manchester United got their first shot at competing in the European Cup. They made it to the semifinals before being knocked out by Real Madrid, after having scored a huge win over Belgium. In the very next season the United lost 8 players in a plane crash a tragedy that fans still mourn.

Not until 1998, with the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, did the Manchester United score a huge season by winning the Premier League, the FA cup, and the Champions League. This was the biggest defining moment for the United, who had struggled since the beginning. Now, the Manchester United are one of the most popular English football teams around. The history of the team is full of its ups and downs, and fans through the ages have watched the team develop into the power house it is today.
