Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Stretford, Greater Manchester. The club currently plays in the Premier League, of which it was a founding member in 1992, and has competed in the UEFA Champions League every year since the 1996–97 season. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name after coming close to bankruptcy in 1902, ten years after joining The Football League and six years before its first league title. In 1909, the club moved to its current home, Old Trafford, now a UEFA five-star rated stadium and the third-largest football ground in the United Kingdom.
