FC
United, founded only in 2005 and starting at Level 10 in the Football
League structure, plan to celebrate their 10th year, after
the exodus of the new Manchester United club from the Glazier
takeover of Manchester United, by playing Benfica in a high profile
match at 7.45pm on the 29th May at the Broadhurst Stadium
in Moston M40 0FJ, a £5.5 million development.
The
club has gained FA Community Charter Standard and the fans, who own
the club, have continued to raise money for various
ventures,developing a powerful Youth scheme and a successful Women's
team. Karl Marginson has been instrumental in the success of the
First team.
The
1st team have worked their way through to Level 7,
starting their campaign in the North-west counties
league.
Currently
in the Northern Premier League Premier Division, FC United have won
the league and are getting closer to
a return to the Football League from the “bottom” end. Next season they play in the Conference Northern Premier.

The
decisive match came last weekend when over 3,500 crowd saw the UFC
beat Stourbridge at the Tameside Stadium 1-0, their present home,
having spent time also sharing Gigg Lane, the home of Bury FC.
Known
as an Industrial and Provident Society, fans pay £12 for an annual
subscription, £3 for children and are allowed to buy one share and
have a vote on club matters. Sponsors logos, at present for mxData,
are not allowed on shirts.
Ironically,
their place in the Evo-stick Premier will be taken by Salford City
FC, the club part owned by the Class of '92-Giggs, the Nevilles,
Scholes and Butt.
