Man Utd FC Facts
Manchester United's 1995/6 squad were on average the youngest champions.
The first five times United entered the European Cup, they never failed to get to the semi-final stage.
The most successful club of recent times was formed in a slightly less than glamorous manner - a club called Newton Heath being founded by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company in 1878. In 1902 they went bankrupt and Manchester United were born.
United always enjoyed moderate success but in the Fifties and Sixties under Matt Busby they won five titles and a European Cup in an era that was only marred by the Munich Air Disaster which claimed much of the first-team squad. The club took some time to recover but under Sir Alex Ferguson they have become one of the biggest clubs in the World.
