Manchester United: A Long History of Success

Today, the Manchester United football club is one of the richest and most widely supported soccer clubs in the world, but it didn't get there by accident. On the contrary, the red Manchester United football shirt has become an iconic piece of sports regalia around the world because the team that wears it has built such a dynasty of success in that jersey.

Manchester United was formed in 1878, initially as the Newton Heath FYR soccer club. Since then, Manchester United has seen its soccer league change names twice, shifting from the blandly titled "Football League" to the more specific "Football League First Division" in 1892, and then changing once more to England's "Premier League" in 1992. The Premier League is the current top division for club football in England, and is the division that wearers of the Manchester United away jersey are rooting for their team to win this year.

The Manchester United soccer club won its first title during the 1907-1908 season as part of the Football League First Division. For the next 85 years, the team was successful enough to claim several more league titles, winning another title just a few years after the first for the 1910-1911 season. However, the club and the Manchester United football shirt both ascended to new heights of fame and iconoclasm in the 1950s when the team won three league titles, two of them in consecutive years. When no league victories came in the 1970s or 1980s, however, it seemed as if that mid-century surge would stand forever as the team's peak.

The Birth of the Premier League and the Manchester United Golden Age

It wasn't until after the Football League First Division was reorganized into the Premier League that Manchester United really hit its stride as England's greatest soccer club. Starting with the Premier League's inaugural 1992-1993 season, the Manchester United soccer club was all but bulletproof, winning four of the first five league titles.

The reign of dominance continued over the decade and a half that followed, with Manchester United winning Premier League titles in three-season streaks on two separate occasions (first between 1998 and 2001, second between 2006 and 2009), and accumulating a handful of other seasonal victories en route to a position as one of the greatest clubs in soccer history.

Manchester United Push for Continued Dominance

Today, the Manchester United football club is not only the dominating force in the Premier League, but is also the most winning club in the history of any league iteration. The team has now won 20 Premier League titles (most recently in the 2012 - 2013 season) and has been in the runner-up slot an additional 15 times. Needless to say, fans are ready to watch the reign continue, and a Manchester United away jersey 2013 - 2014 is the perfect way for those fans to show their undying devotion for their team.

But of course, devotion for this team can be shown in many ways, whether with a Manchester United football shirt or a wall-hanging champions pennant. Regardless of what you are looking for, if it is part of the Manchester United brand, you can find it at Soccer Box. Stop by our online store today.
