Bentley became the secretary and John Robson was in charge of the care and selection tima.Ali unfortunately the team was only a pale, pale shadow of what the past few seasons and had just one point less in the end and, once again relegated to the second ligu.Sto Regarding players only George Stacey, Billy Meredith, Sandy Turnbull and George Wall stayed in the team which has only one season before the Big raged Britanijom.Pre than the United opasuljio and had any plan to return to the big Unfortunately the world and the happiness of Manchester United broke the World War 1, and football is still the suspendovan.E now beginning to play tournaments under the names of Lancashire Prinicipal and Tournaments subsidiary, which last 4 years and a football player Enoch West was suspended because he was indicted that he was receiving bribes and namestao Metz and his colleagues from Mane Sandy Turnbullje dakodje received the same ban, but he went to France and reported in the so-called Footballers' Battalion and was killed in battle and thus became one of the first saints of the club which will later be unfortunately jos.Manchester returned to Old Trafford after a break of 4 years and the first game played with Derby County-em but in 1919 the team has only 2 players from the team that played in the season 1915.Billy Meredith is, unfortunately, ended his career at Old Trafford with only 19 games into the season nogama.Ipak new hero Joe Spence with 14 goals in which the club finished in 12th in the next 13-stom mestu.A jel remember what Jude as he moved to the city is now on the legend of a real city and the new Maine Road stadium and on top of that literally draws a pension from Billy Meredith and the Blue potpisujega although the only rather month wearing a jersey Uniteda.E for Utd perform worse as the season turns out flaws in another league and it seems to me remains the 1922-1925 (for this I am not 100% sure) in 1926 in the first league is 9.inace Utd that season arrived the U1 \ 2 Cup finals, where lean on neighbors to get from Manchester Utd. with even 3-0, but that their luck turns back and lost the Cup final and fall into another ligu.E now, for me at least, created the first attack on Utd, the season 26 \ 27 FA suspend coach John Chapman and the reason why so to this day is not the place objavljen.I then player-coach there for me, the biggest nut in the time Clarence Hilditch.dok the administration said that the need new reinforcements, he spoke to netrebaju a more permanent uvrstavao himself in the first team.

1930-1939

This period of 10 years in football terms was the worst for United but there is something you would want to izdvojim.Propadanje Manchester which started at 20 and transferred them to the next deceniju.Manchester suffered two consecutive defeats to the Old Trafford, Huddersfield Town 6-0 from 7-4 and from Newcastle United.3 ,507-believe it or not so was the visit to one game mufc. sezoni.A in the club then it turns out the first time in Division 3 in the last round wins the unfortunate Millwall Millwall 2-0 and instead of "Reds" went to rank 4.

Matt Busby !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then again the Germans again move to war, and the English football pause this time in 5 years.
11 March 1941 the Germans almost demoliraju Old Ground aircraft, and for that time in 9 king battalion regiments Liverpudlian Mat Bezbi shows his ability leading, and in 1945 signed 4-oro annual contract with the devil, and not suspecting that the club lead and 25 years later (as Sir Alex) and here are the original work on him from United's books:

"It came with a man named Matt Busby, who would prove to be the most important figures in the history of Manchester United. A former Manchester City and Liverpool player, Busby served in the Ninth Battalion of the King's Liverpool Regiment where his leadership qualities Shone through. These qualities did not go unnoticed by United.

Busby joined the Reds in 1945, initially on a five-year contract. Little did he know he would still be managing the club 25 years later!

Busby did not waste any time in making his mark, altering the positions of several key players. He also founded the "Famous Five" forwards when he brought together Jimmy Delaney, Stan Pearson, Jack Rowley, Charlie Mitten and Johnny Morris.

Perhaps the most important signing Busby made, however, was on the coaching staff. Matt had met Jimmy Murphy during the war, and identified him as his perfect right-hand man. The pair formed a partnership that would see United become a power in world football.

Busby and Murphy's first step on the road to glory was to build a team that was capable of challenging for domestic Honors. They almost succeeded at the first attempt, as United finished second to Liverpool in the first Football League campaign after the war, 1946/47. It was the club's highest placing for 36 years, and there was extra cause for optimism when the Reserves won their (Central) League Championship in the same season.

Busby's mix of young local lads and established players won their first trophy the following year, when they beat the Blackpool side of Stanley Matthews, Stan Mortensen and Harry Johnston in the 1948 FA Cup Final. It was 39 years to the day that United had previously won the Cup, in 1909th

The FA Cup was also the club's first Major Honor since winning the League Championship in 1911, and recapturing the title would now become the number one target for Matt Busby's men. During the first five seasons of his post-war reign, United finished second on Four Occasions, and fourth on the other (1949/50).

The thrill of the chase for Honors brought the fans flooding back more than one million of them passed through the turnstiles in the 1947/48 season, Dragging the club out of debt. Surely these fans would not have to wait long to be rewarded with the prize they all craved
1950-1959
The 1950's dawned with the break-up of Matt Busby's first successful United side - the 1948 FA Cup-winning team. Dressing Room Dissent led to Johnny Morris departing for Derby and Charlie Mitten exporting his wing ry to Colombia. Fans worried by the duo's departure were soon placated.

The great Scot's plan was to promote the YOUNGSTERS he'd been Recruiting and grooming in the late 1940's. Jackie Blanchflower and Roger Byrne were the first to emerge and be labeled 'Babes' by the newspapers, in their debut season 1951/52, United won the League Championship for the first time since 1911th

In 1955/56 and 1956/57, Byrne lifted the Championship trophy as skipper of a great young side that included several more products of Busbys youth academy. Eddie Colman, Mark Jones and David Pegg were all first team regulars, having cut their teeth in the fa Youth Cup, which United won five years in a row from its inception in 1953rd

Not all the young talent was home-grown, however. The United manager was equally happy to plunge into the transfer market, as shown by the big money signings of proven Internationals Tommy Taylor and goalkeeper Harry Gregg.

Another young man who excelled for club and country was Duncan Edwards. So powerful, talented and mature was the Dudley teenager that Matt Busby could not hold him back from Uniteds first team. In April 1953, he became the First Division's youngest-ever player at the age of 16 years and 185 days. "

One match was marked to be much bazbijeve babies in England and evropi.Bila the match against Arsenal on Hajberiju match with 9 goals, unfortunately the last for the team because we know what happened to 6 February 1958th

As per an unwritten rule, each team must have English by a tragedy in its history. Najtuniji moments that proivio this club, the fans and the entire English public occurred in 1958. godine.Pad aircraft with the team Manchester United occurred 6.februara 1958-e, when British European Airways Flight 609 after the third attempt to takeoff down the runway next to the Munich aerodroma.Na aircraft were placed players (Busby babies), journalists, and few fans posada.23 passengers of the 44 killed.

1960-1969

After it has built one of the best teams in England, Matt Busby after the Munich disaster had to start again from the beginning but it is not represented problem.Nakon as his wounds and injuries last year, he set out to build a team that will win the whole world to flash
Dennis Viollet1959/60 who survived a plane crash broke Jack Rowley's club record with 32 goals achieved and Manchester was the season scored 102 goals but received a 80 and was the season zavrsioi the 7.poziciji.
Viollet Bill Foulkes and Bobby Charlton survived the accident and represent the backbone of the team while Denis Law came from (we do is from Turin) for the time rekordin 115,000.1962 / 63 FA Cup Final. Busby finally ukomponovao this team with him and United won the FA Cup 3-1 win over Leicester City with two pieces, and David Herd scored a Law.
Next season's "fault" was osokoljenja trophies from the FA Cup last season and was attacked by the title, but finished in second place just 1 point shorter than Liverpool (from whom he had lost both tekme year) but, but, in the club comes George Best Najaci figure who to this day playing for this team.
famous trio of Best, Law and Charlton were Najaci trio in the world, winning the League Championship, and came in the semifinals of the European Fairs Cup and the FA Cup. Law was also that year's European Footballer of the Year.Mislilo with that next season easily defend the title but cvrc.Zavrsili on 4th place and were relegated to the semi finals of all the other cup competitions in which igrali.Ali from that season to remember victory over Benfica of 5-1.
1966/67 United became the Champions League, and finally won the next and Europe again against Benfica at Wembley and 1-1 after 90 minutes in Manchester has given three in overtime to become the best in Europe, and so after 10 years of tragic accident Matt finally nasmejaoi later became Sir Matt Busby.

1970-1979

These years have begun to fade the memory of the titles won in past seasons, and sought a replacement for Sir Matt Busby, but many people did not Moog to cope with the pressure that the bench would still wore a + to all Matt was constantly Door ispravljao and all your possible mistakes (Apropo all this, I forgot to say that lost to Manchester in 1969 with Estudiantes 2-1 and was not crowned as king of the world). Now, many of the coaches prodefilovalo Manchester through those years and now I would not gnjavio with their biographies, for those years allocated a result of the Manchester Palace-0-5.U time Manchester was coming out of the newspapers, but for one man, George Besta.Kockanje pizza, etc. ... Since women really know about it and write to nedavim now his autobiography trknite to the local Video-CD-DVD movie club and get the "best" and all you will only tell.

1980-1989

United oped slowly moving 80te and turns of Tottenham in the first stage of the FA Cup and lost the match by Ipswichaali Dave Sexton manages to move the team from lethargy and gets 8 games of 10 and ends at the end of the second again with two points short of the title, which won the Liver. 80-81 United again has a great winning the series but eventually end up as 8.To administration that can not iztolerise and Sexton gets otkaz.Ron Atkinson is the new manager, who spent 1.5 million pounds on players from the WBA Bryan Robson and still 500,000.00 pounds to more a reinforcement of the WBA Remi Moses. Manchester was a very good team but it is missing an attacker will be able to do what works with what Ian Rush Liverpool wins the title 1982.1983, and 1984 and mutd is always short a few points to win the title .
Only where those years mufc could win one of the medal, was a chance in one of kupova.U final one played against Liverpool and lost. A fa Cup Final played (this year) 2 matches against small clubs under the name Brighton and Hove Albion and the first match was 2-2 and 4-0 for light drigom Utd.

1990-1999

In those 90 years, it seems to me that Fergusonov job was very very wobbly legs, but pulled repeated in the FA Cup game against Palace, and this victory actually runs the avalanche that will kolmunirati 1999.Osvojeni FA Cup in 1990 allowed the United to return to the European scene in 1991 and gone through to the end of the cup pobenika Cup in Rotterdam Bars defeated when the former player Mark Hughes gave Barse 2 goals and Manchester brought the first Euro trophy after 23 godine.Manchester after that and wants to terminate the post in the domestic championship , and captured after the League Cup (the trophy Alexov 3) entering the final race with Kim? Not Liverpool if you already thought of it the best club in Yorkshire - Leeds, but in the end the decisive match of Liverpool lost 2-0 and lost titulu.Mnogi say that this season memorable by Manchesterovoj lost title, not by Leedsovoj osvojenoj !?!?!? Now comes a period Erika Kantone.Leeds it is sold in Manchester the same time, we can say and still no further chances in the following competitions , and practically gave United the key of the door behind which the wings of the first title of champion England after 26 godina.Postigao is "only" 9 goals but the team is completed by adding, charisma, lucidnoscu.Uzeo even number 7 on the jersey number that was protective character Robsona.Ali Bryan and Best and Heath has a problem with FA.Posto is majgerijem hit Crystal Palace fan, had the cooling season to eight meseci.Te

At the end of the 1995/96 season, only Liverpool stood between Manchester and the first 'double-double-A' in the history Junajda, but it is all solved Canton beautiful shot in 86 minutu.Treba say that it inspired
see Beckham and Nevil.U May 1997 Canton brings 4 championship in Manchester this decade, and later that month decided to withdraw from football. It turns out that this procedure was disastrous for the county because United had no one to replace him in that position . and more to all the team could not be recognized in the next season and nothing is taken while Arsenal took a double krunu.Doduse in the season were violated and
Gigs and Kin.Niko had such an impact on the game as Manchester United Giggs had, and it could be seen in the second match the semi-finals of the FA Cup when he scored the most beautiful goal of all time in the competition against Arsenal 1998/99. He took the ball in their half and predriblo all and gave the goal and took United into the FA Cup final 5 in the final deceniji.U was defeated Newcastle 2-0 goals Paul Scholes and Tedi Seringema (which was entered as a substitute) and it was in 3 DOUBLE DOUBLE 9 years since Andy Cole 6 days before it took title

2000-2007

United started this decade and millennium is a little strange, because he went to the FIFA Club World Championship in Brazil. And the team has sacrificed the FA Cup (?) And below are not won anything but he said even if Sir Alex were properly rested, and when they returned to England were attacked by 6 and won the title already at the beginning of April. At that time there is another problem, and that is who will replace the single Peter
Smajhela. Bosic Mark 1999/2000 and Fabian Bartez in July 2000. Eccentric but excellent whole looked like a right decision and took the 3 consecutive title Junajtedu.Ser Alex was at the helm of this ship three times which makes it the first manager in istorii Engleske.Ferguson has also signed a contract with Riom Ferdinand and paid him 30 Leeds million, and this is his return in 2002 brings the necessary solid in defense, which disappeared when the jip-JPN-housing the big Dutchman went to Lacio.2003 Rio was suspended because it did not appear in Caringtonu tested mokrace.Bez him Manchester United He lost the title from Arsenal in 2004 but won the FA Cup by 11 time as the record when they beat Milvol with 3-0. Exactly one year later they returned to the stadium in CARDIF to deal with Arsenal, which won the Cup on penalties , and that year was the best year Celzi.Naredne everything United did win the Carling Cup is headed in the beating Wigan.
