Manchester United
Manchester United are the most successful club in English history. The current Premier League champions started out as Newton Heath, way back in 1878, and it wasn't until 1902 that Manchester United the brand was born.
The home of the Red Devils is the impenetrable Old Trafford which, after Wembley, is the second biggest stadium in the UK, with a capacity of 75,731. United have played at the "Theatre of Dreams" since 1910 and over the years it has been the home to some truly great players. George Best, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Eric Cantona have all graced the hallowed turf of Old Trafford.
United have won 20 First Division titles, 11 FA Cups, four League Cups and three European Cups. While this is a truly remarkable trophy haul, it is perhaps more impressive that 32 of the 38 trophies have been won by just two managers. Of course, the managers in question are Matt Busby and Alex Ferguson.
Busby was United's first great manager. The Scot arrived at Old Trafford on October 1st 1945 and didn't leave until June 1969. For a career that saw him reach unprecedented heights, it also had its fair share of blows, none more so than the Munich Air Disaster in 1958, which killed eight of his players including the mercurial Duncan Edwards.
Busby rebuilt his side and placed his trust in the youth squad. Under his tutelage footballing greats Bobby Charlton and Nobby Stiles excelled, while the club signed Dennis Law and George Best. Busby's record boasts five league titles, two FA Cups and one European Cup.
The departure of Busby initiated a period of decline for United; by the time of Alex Ferguson's arrival in 1986 the club had added just two FA Cups since Busby's departure. The arrival of Alex Ferguson heralded great success for United. Like the "Busby Babes", Fergie had his own golden generation made up of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Phil and Gary Neville, Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt.
It was Busby who established United as a great domestic club, but it was Fergie who turned them into a European powerhouse, winning the European Cup twice. Besides success in Europe, United won 13 league titles, five FA Cups and four League Cups during the Fergie era.
2013 saw United's greatest ever manager step down. Coming in to replace him was Everton's David Moyes, who was handpicked by Ferguson. If Moyes can emulate his fellow Scottish compatriots then he too will have a road named after him in Manchester.
