It is the soul of a sporting journey which continues season after season making history all the time. Manchester United is one of the most widely supported football clubs in the world, and has rivalries with Liverpool, Manchester City, Arsenal, and Leeds United. The club was founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, changed its name to Manchester United in 1902 and moved to its current fortress, Old Trafford, in 1910 and this is where the journey began.
