Manchester Utd. has been definitely the best team in the Premier League especially in 1990s. With its magnificent group of players, the team was at their best during 98-99 season when they took the Quadruple Crown by winning Premier Championship, FA Cup, Toyota Cup, and Champion's League, and they became the first team in history of English soccer to accomplish the honor. Manchester Utd., also known as the "Red Devils" for their red uniforms, has never gone down to Division II, and they have won more championships than any other teams in the league except Liverpool. The head coach, Alex Ferguson, is considered as one of the best coaches in the world.

How have they made their money? Their football glories are just a small part of the United money-making strategy. A clever marketing plan, built upon the celebrity of stars past and present including David Beckham and Eric Cantona, has made them a global brand. They also boast the biggest club stadium in England, which is full for every game. Yet this summer's takeover of the club by Malcolm Glazer - and its high levels of debt - has put a question mark against the club's future growth prospects.

While their ranks of global superstars may have diminished, United’s biggest asset remains the worldwide recognition of their name.
