Manchester United is based at Old Trafford stadium in the Greater Manchester region in England. The club is arguably the most popular football club in the world with an estimated 5% (330 million people) of the world’s population supporting it.

 

Manchester United was the founding member of the Premier League in 1992 and has been playing in the top division of English football since 1938. Lovingly referred to as ‘The Red Devils’, Manchester United is the second most successful club in the history of English football and is by far the most triumphant in recent times, having won 20 major honours since Sir Alex Ferguson started as manager in November 1986. The team has won England’s top division 17 times, one short of Liverpool’s 18 league titles.

 

In 1968 Manchester United became the first English club to win the UEFA Champions League title when they beat S.L Benfica 4-1. They won a second UEFA Champions League title as part of their unprecedented treble in 1999 (also winning the F.A Cup and English Premiership).

 

Manchester United were sitting in position three after seven games in the current season of the Barclays English Premiership League and TopTV subscribers are invited to catch Manchester United TV on TopTV as Sir Alex Ferguson’s men aim for glory in both the UEFA Champions League as well as the Barclays English Premiership League.
