My favourite football team is Manchester United which is the best team in the world (555+ That is my though but I think It's true). I saw Manchester United since I can remember everythings. But you will not believe that in my family I'm only one who are favour in Manchester United other in my family are favour in Liverpool football club which is number one team that Manchester United dislike. Now let's see about history of Manchester United, the best team in the world.
1878-1899
Manchester United Football Club was first formed in 1878, albeit under a different name - Newton Heath LYR (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway).
Little suspecting the impact they were about to have on the national, even global game, the workers in the railway yard at Newton Heath indulged their passion for association football with games against other departments of the LYR or other railway companies. Indeed, when the Football League was formed in 1888, Newton Heath did not consider themselves good enough to become founder members alongside the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Preston North End. They waited instead until 1892 to make their entrance.Financial problems plagued Newton Heath, and by the start of the twentieth century it seemed they were destined for extinction. The club was saved, however, by a local brewery owner, John Henry Davies. Legend has it that he learned of the club's plight when he found a dog belonging to Newton Heath captain Harry Stafford.
1910-1919
The words Old Trafford entered football folklore for the first time during the 1909/10 season.
The land on which the stadium was built was bought by the Manchester Brewery Company (John Henry Davies) and leased to the club. Davies himself paid for the building work, which commenced in 1908 under the supervision of the renowned architect Archibald Leitch. By 1910, the club had moved lock, stock and barrel from their old home of Bank Street.
United's first fixture at Old Trafford was played on 19 February 1910. The new hosts lost 4-3 to their first visitors Liverpool, but the stadium was successful in accommodating an 80,000 capacity crowd. Two days previously, the old wooden stand at Bank Street had been blown down by strong winds - further evidence, perhaps, that United were suited to and needed their new home.Indeed, United were crowned League Champions for the second time in their history, at the end of their first full season at Old Trafford - 1910/1911. They clinched the title at home on the final day of the season, beating Sunderland 5-1 with Harold Halse grabbing two of the goals.
Robson's team was a shadow of the one which had performed so well in the previous decade, as only George Stacey, Billy Meredith, Sandy Turnbull and George Wall remained from the 1909 FA Cup-winning side. Not surprisingly, the club struggled, only escaping relegation by a single point. To rub salt into the wound, Mangnall's Manchester City side finished in fifth place, thirteen places above United.
Before United could form a plan for recovery, the outbreak of the First World War put football firmly to the back of people's minds. The Football League was suspended, and clubs resorted to playing in regional competitions. United played in the Lancashire Prinicipal and Subsidiary Tournaments for four seasons, but this was a less than successful diversion, the misery compounded by the fact that two of the club's players were found guilty of match fixing. Enoch West was banned for life as was Sandy Turnbull, who joined the Footballers' Battalion to help Britain's war effort.
Tragically Turnbull was killed during a battle in France in May 1917, to leave Manchester United without another of their early century heroes for their return to league football in 1919/20.
1920-1929
Manchester United returned to League football on 30 August 1919, following a four-year gap caused by the First World War. The team for that first match back against Derby County included many new faces - in fact only two of the men on duty had played in United's previous league game at the end of the 1914/15 season.
Billy Meredith was still at Old Trafford, but reaching the end of his illustrious Old Trafford career. He made only 19 appearances in 1919/20 when United finished 12th in the First Division. The new hero of the terraces, Joe Spence, finished the season as the team's top scorer with 14 League goals. He was joint top scorer again in 1920/21, but this time with half the tally as United again under-achieved to finish in 13th place.
Manager John Robson then left the club, to be replaced by John Chapman, who reverted to the dual role of secretary/manager last held by JJ Bentley. Meanwhile, former manager Ernest Mangnall continued to make the local headlines with City, as they moved into a new stadium at Maine Road.
Mangnall also re-signed Meredith for City and despite his advancing years, it was perhaps no coincidence that United were relegated in their first season without him, winning only 8 of their 42 matches in 1921/22.
Chapman's team that played in the Second Division was bereft of any star names, and failed to win promotion at the first (1922/23) or even the second attempt (1923/24). The on-field leadership of Frank Barson eventually brought about a marked improvement, however, resulting in promotion at the end of 1924/25. United finished second to Leicester City, after losing only eight games.United's top flight status was cemented with a ninth-place finish in 1925/26. Chapman's team also went on a great run in the FA Cup, but this came to a halt in the semi-finals when Manchester City beat them 3-0 at Bramall Lane. City's luck then ran out, as they lost both the final (to Bolton) and their place in the First Division.

1960-1969
After building one of the greatest teams seen in England, Matt Busby had to start all over again at the start of the 1960's. The Munich air disaster had robbed him, and football, of some of the era's greatest players. But the great manager was never one to sit still for long. Once he had recovered from his own injuries, he set about building another side to take the world by storm.Dennis Viollet was one of the leading names within this team. In 1959/60, the Munich survivor broke Jack Rowley's club record by scoring 32 goals in one league season. The team in total scored 102, but they conceded too many (80) at the other end and finished in seventh place.Viollet wasn't the only player to survive Munich and enjoy a great career at Old Trafford; others included Bill Foulkes, and Bobby Charlton, who came through the club's youth ranks to break goalscoring records for club and country. Nobby Stiles followed the same path, from youth team to first team, while Denis Law came the more direct route, by record £115,000 transfer from Torino.
United's form was erratic at the start of the decade, while the new names settled in, but then everything came together with a run to Wembley for the 1962/63 FA Cup Final. Matt Busby's new-look team beat Leicester City 3-1, with two goals from David Herd and one by Denis Law.
The next season saw United build on the foundations of FA Cup success to challenge for the title – United finished second, only four points behind the champions Liverpool, to whom they lost both at home and away. The 1962/63 season was also notable for the signing and debut of George Best, the young man from Belfast who would become football's first superstar. It was a case of Best by name, best by nature. His incredible skill, pace and control left opponents in knots, making him a hit with the fans, while his filmstar looks made him a hit with the ladies.
1990-1999
The dawn of the 1990's saw Alex Ferguson collecting his first silverware as Manchester United manager, and Liverpool winning their last League Championship with an ageing team. The tide was turning…
Fergie's first FA Cup, achieved after a replay against Crystal Palace, seemed at the time to be a stand-alone success, one that possibly saved his job after another poor season in the League. But nine years later, it seemed that Lee Martin's winning goal against Palace lit the fuse for an explosion of unprecedented success.
2000-2006
Manchester United started the new decade, century and millennium in typical pioneering fashion. They entered a brand new competition – the FIFA Club World Championship in Brazil – but at the expense of their participation in the FA Cup, of which they were the holders.
You can see a lot of award that Manchester United can get that show all of thing about Manchester United is the best team in the world.Now are you believe that?

In my free days.
In my free days, I like to go to Pattaya like the last holiday. I went to Pattaya with my friends and my girlfriend who I have been told you.Do you believe that I'm only one who learn in faculty of Law who go to Pattaya that time. My friends are learn in faculty of Business Administration.But it's not mean I did not have friend in faculty of Law but that time they are too busy to go there. I went to there by van. It's cost for 1800 baht. I think it is not too expensive because I know an oil too expensive now. It is about 2 hours to go there. I arrive at Pattaya on 10.00 a.m. I start walking on the beach with my girlfriend when I arrive at there. It is very romance, if that time did not have a sunlight. It is too bad because it is get my skin to be black but I'm not afriad that thing because I'm using sun block to protect my skin from a sunlight. After that I went to swim in the sea. At 11.30 a.m. I went to eat fried chicken, papaya salad, fried crab and fried crustacean.There are very delicious. When I'm finish eating, I went to play banana boat, it is very fun I like to play it too much. When I finished play banana boat I start walking on the beach again but this time I walking with my friends[my girlfriend go too]. In afternoon on the beach, there are crowd of a traveller. At 03.00 p.m., I went to ride a jetsky. It is very exicited and fun. After that, I went to eat again and I went to shower. I went back to Bangkok at 07.30 p.m. and went to eat a dinner at Patanakarn Rd. When I finished eating, I went to take my girlfriend back to home and I arrive at my home at 10.00 p.m. It is the end of one of my free days. I'm so tried in that day but I think that day I'm very happy.
My favourite football player is Ronaldo.
First time when I saw Ronaldo playing football, I think it's about ten years ago. I'm very exited because Ronaldo can make everyone see him by make a fantastic football. Nowadays he play football with Real Madrid football club where have a lot of a super stars footballer likes David Beckham, Raul Gonzalez, Ruud Van Nistelroy and Fabio Cannavaro.
Let' s see about Ronaldo career.His full name is Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima.His performances in Sao Cristovao and Cruzeiro took him at a very young age to Europe, more precisely to Holland, to PSV Eindhoven. He was proclaimed maximum scorer of the League (30 goals in 33 games during the season 1994-95). His capacity and his play caused a sensation and Barcelona went for him. He came to Spain in 1996-97 and in his first season he was also the highest scorer of the championship: 34 goals in 37 games. People still remember that goal against Compostela. He stayed only one year at CampNou, the time that Inter took to sign him up. His start in the Serie A was meteoric: he scored 25 goals and he was chosen the best foreign player and the best player of Calcio. Injuries to his knee stopped him almost during two seasons, and there were people who even doubted about whether he would be able to play football again. Nevertheless “the Phenomenon” cleared away any doubt in the 2001-02 season. He scored seven goals in ten games of League with Inter and in the World Championship of Korea and Japan he proved that he was the same star: he was the highest scorer of the championship (8 goals) and he was a great leader that took Brazil to the fifth Cup (he scored the two goals of his team in the final). Ronaldo is back. He is the same player who was once elected FIFA World Player two years in a row (1996 and 1997) and that achieved the Golden Ball (1997). And now he is in Real Madrid. And he wants to get the crown for the best “9” in the world.
While he play football, he can get a lot of award and I think, he is the best forward in the world. Explosive power, Brazilian fantasy and scoring instinct are joined together in Ronaldo, who came to Real Madrid after leading Brazil to the conquer their fifth World Cup. He was crucial for their gaining of the Intercontinental Cup and days later he was awarded with the Golden Ball and FIFA World Player. Another star among a constellation of stars, an insurance policy for goals for his team.
