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.
