FC UNITED ON THEIR WAY BACK

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.
