PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE
Manchester United have dominated the FA Premier League since the inception of the competition in 1992.
Alex Ferguson has helped the club set new standards on the field with eight championship victories. The Reds ended a 26-year title wait by lifting the FA Premier League trophy in 1993 with Eric Cantona making a telling contribution following his move from Leeds. The mercurial Frenchman went on to forge legendary status at United and many supporters believe he is the greatest player to pull on the shirt - four championships and two FA Cup wins were celebrated during his five-year spell in Manchester.
Home-grown talent such as Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs have since developed into world-renowned players, and latterly imported stars such as Louis Saha and Ruud van Nistelrooy have added the overseas expertise.
Old Trafford has grown into one of the most impressive stadiums in the world with a capacity of over 68,000 and the 'sold out' signs go up for most home matches.
Ferguson's decision to postpone his planned retirement and stay on as manager delighted the red army, who also celebrated the record signing of Rio Ferdinand in summer 2002. And there were further celebrations at Old Trafford as United lifted The FA Cup for the 11th time in 2004 with a 3-0 win over Millwall.
England striker Wayne Rooney arrived at Old Trafford in August 2004 to complete a formidable looking front line.
CLUB
Formed as Newton Heath in 1878, the 'Red Devils' became Manchester United in 1902 and were crowned Division One champions just six years later.
The FA Cup was also on display at their Bank Street home before a move to Old Trafford was secured in 1910, with another league title sewn up under the leadership of Ernest Mangnall.
The inter-war years were barren for the Reds, but Sir Matt Busby became manager in 1945 and his 'Busby Babes' won three league titles in the 1950s.
However, tragedy struck on the return from a European tie in 1958 when an air crash in Munich claimed the lives of eight United players and robbed the world of one of the most exciting teams of its era.
Busby survived and led United to league glory in 1965 and 1967 before a famous and emotional European Cup triumph in 1968.
Frequent success in cup competitions, including lifting the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1991, translated into league success in 1993 - the inaugural season of the FA Premier League(1992-93). The red machine went on to dominate English football under Alex Ferguson's leadership. An unprecedented double of FA Premier League and FA Cup Doubles were captured in 1994 and 1996, before 1999's thrilling FA Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League Treble triumph.
