Manchester United Worldwide
In 2013, an extremely large survey was carried out and the results were astonishing. This was largest worldwide football survey. According to this survey that was carried out by Kantar Media, there is 1.6 billion football fans around the world. Manchester United fans dominated the survey and according to the survey, 659 million of the 1.6 billion fans support Manchester United. As reported by Kantar, approximately half of these fans live in the Asia Pacific region. This survey also states that around 108 million of Manchester United fans live in China. These results from the Kantar media survey were mind-blowing as it states that Manchester United fans nearly make up 10% of the world's population. This shows how big Manchester United have grown as a club.
Old Trafford has the capacity to hold 75,635 fans. According to this website, the average attendence at Old Trafford for the 2016/2017 season is 75,286. That's an average of 99.5% of Old Trafford's capacity.
Money has become a big factor in football and over the last few years, Manchester United have spent huge amounts of money. This season they bought Paul Pogba for 89 million which broke the transfer record. They also spent 30 million on young centre back Eric Bailly and 26 million on Henrikh Mkhitaryan. They also got Zlatan Ibrahimovic for free but he is on huge wages. They had a net spend of 142,500,000. In the 15/16 season Manchester United had a net spend of around 28 million but they spent around 103 million on Memphis Depay, Matteo Darmian, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Anthony Martial, Morgan Schneiderlin, Sergio Romero and Regan Poole. Out of these players only Anthony Martial has been a success. They sold Ángel Di María for around 44 million to PSG and Javier Hernández for around 12,000. The season before Manchester United broke the British transfer record on Di Maria signing him from Real Madrid for 59,700,000. In the 14/15 season they spent 145,500,000 on Ángel Di María, Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo, Victor Valdez and Daley Blind. They had a big clear out that year and sold players such as Shinji Kagawa and Danny Welbeck and club legends Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Ryan Giggs and Patrice Evra all left the club. They had a net spend of 104 millon. The last three seasons, Manchester United have spent over 100 million on players and this hasn't proved worth it as they have only won the FA Cup in the last three years and have only made the Uefa Champions League once.
Accoridng to a survey in 2016, Manchester United are now the best paid football team. They have passed out Barcelona who have huge players such as Messi, Neymar, Suárez, Iniesta and Busquets.

They are the fourth best paid team in the world. The best paid team in the world are NBA team the Cleveland Cavaliers who are on average paid £125,883 a week.

Stadium Geography
North Road was Newton Heath's first football ground but there was many problems with the pitch. According to this website the pitch was covered in smog from a near by chemical plant and one end of the pitch was described as hard flint and the other end was described as a 'mudheap'. Around 12,000 people could fit around the pitch and this number was increased to 15,000 when a stand was built in 1891. In 1893 Newton Heath LYR were forced to move from North Road.
They moved to the Bank Street ground in Clayton. 10,000 people attended their first league game at the Bank Street ground. Originally there was no stands but when they moved to Bank Street, two stands were built. The pitch here was not any better than the pitch at North Road. In 1895 another stand was put up and this stand could hold about 2000 fans. By 1906, Bank Street had stands the whole way around the pitch and could hold about 50,000 fans. Bank Street also had the first covered stand in England.
Manchester United grew as a club and they won their first league title in 1908 and won the FA cup a year later. As their popularity increased, John Henry Davies decided that he wanted the club to build an even bigger stadium. Five miles away from Bank Street, a site was picked to be built on. Archibald Leitch, a Scottish architect, was appointed to design the new stadium. The stadium was built and it could hold about 80,000 people. The new stadium set an attendance record when 70,054 people watched Manchester United versus Aston Villa in December, 1920. Then in 1939 a new attendence record was broken when 76,962 fans watched the FA Cup semi-final between Wolves and Grimsby. This attendance record still stands to this day.
During the second world war, Old Trafford was bombed twice. There was only minor damage from the first bombing in December, 1940. However in March 1941, a second bomb struck Old Trafford. This time there was significant damage and most of the stadium and the pitch was destroyed. They had to play at Maine Road which was Manchester City's stadium. They ended up playing there for 8 years. After the war had ended in 1945, money was put forward to clear the debris and also to build the stands again. In 1957, plans had been put forward to increase the capacity of Old Trafford to 100,000. However this changed after the Munich crash in 1958. In 1960, the capacity increased to 66,500. Old Trafford is the second biggest stadium in England with a capacity of 75,653 and it is the biggest stadium in the premier league.
They moved to the Bank Street ground in Clayton. 10,000 people attended their first league game at the Bank Street ground.

Manchester United Introduction
Manchester United was founded in 1878 but they weren't originally called Manchester United. They were originally called Newton Heath LYR( Lancashire and York Railway). They joined the football league in 1892, four years after it was founded.
They struggled in the financial department and they nearly went bankrupt. At the start of the 20th century, it looked like Newton Heath LYR would have to fold as a club. In 1902 this changed as a local business man called John Henry Davies invested in the club. The club changed its name from Newton Heath LYR to Manchester United after the investment.
