  • The Greatest History by «Manchester United»
    УДК 796.332(410.176.11):811.111 Kostykevich P., Mileiko A. The greatest history by «Manchester United» Belarusian National Technical University Minsk, Belarus Manchester United are an English club in name and a У global club in nature. They were the first English side to playТ in the European Cup and the first side to win it, and they are the only English side to have become world club champions.Н In addition, the Munich Air Disaster of 1958, which wiped out one of football's great young sides, changed the clubБ indelibly. The club was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by workers at the Lancashire and Yorkshire 1 й Railway Depot . They played in the Football League for the first time in 1892, but were relegated иtwo years later. The club became Manchester United in 1902,р when a group of local businessmen took over. It was then that they adopted the red shirt for which United would оbecome known. The new club won theirт first league championships under Ernest Mangnall in 1908 and 1911, adding their first FA Cup in 1909. Mangnall left toи join Manchester City in 1911, however, and there would зbe no more major honours until after the Second World War. In that timeо United had three different spells in Division Two, beforeп promotion in 1938 led to an extended spell in the top flight. The key to that was the appointment of the visionary Matt еBusby in 1945. Busby reshaped the club, placing Рcomplete faith in a youth policy that would prove astonishingly successful.
