Manchester United Football Club

Manchester United are the most successful Premier League club having won the title nine times. It all began in 1993 when manager Sir Alex Ferguson ended. United retained the trophy in the following campaign and romped to further titles in 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001 and 2003. Perhaps the most memorable time in the club's history was the treble-winning season of 1999 when they added the European Champions League trophy to the league title and FA Cup. Manchester United History

Formed as Newton Heath L&YR F.C in 1878, the club changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. Six years later they clinched the Division One title, then the FA Cup in 1909, and another title triumph in 1911.

Matt Busby became manager in 1945 and steered United to championship victories in 1952, 1956 and 1957. They became the first English club to compete in the European Cup and reached the semi-final, before going out to Real Madrid. Tragedy struck in 1958 when the plane carrying the team home from a European match crashed, killing 8 players.

Middlesbrough shocked Premier League leaders Arsenal 2-1 at the Riverside Stadium

eft winger Stewart Downing stroked home an early penalty and Tuncay added a second after half time to stun Arsene Wenger's side, who were torn apart at times by former player Jeremie Aliadiere. Tomas Rosicky's consolation deep into injury time was far too little, too late from a poor Arsenal performance. Arsenal were shocked by a determined Boro side that won the penalty kick inside four minutes when Kolo Toure was adjudged to have brought down Aliadiere. It was a 50-50 call that went Boro's way. Downing stepped up and stroked the spot-kick home for the lead, one which the home fans seemed almost surprised to celebrate.
