] Busby Era (1945-1969)
In 1945, Matt Busby was appointed manager of the team based at Old Trafford this. He asked for something unusual on his work, like appoint his own team, choose the players who will be recruited himself and the players determine their own training schedules. He has lost jobs manager at another club, Liverpool FC, because the job he wants Liverpool's top brass felt it was the work of a director, but United gave the opportunity for innovative ideas. First, Busby was not a player, but a new assistant manager by the name of Jimmy Murphy. Busby appointed as the manager's decision is a decision that is right, Busby pay the trust the board to take United into second place league in 1947, 1948 and 1949 and won the FA Cup in 1948. Stan Pearson, Jack Rowley, Allenby Chilton, and Charlie Mitten had a big share in United's achievements this.
Charlie Mitten returned to Columbia to seek better pay, but the ability of United's senior players has not decreased and again won the Division One title in 1952. Busby knew, that football teams do not just need experience players, then, he is also thought to include some younger players. First of all, young players such as Roger Byrne, Bill Foulkes, Mark Jones and Dennis Viollet, take time to show their best game, consequently United slipped to 8th position in 1953, but the team again won the league in 1956 with a team average age of players only 22 years, scoring 103 goals. Policies on these young players drove into one of the most successful manager Manchester United deal (the mid-1950s, mid-late 1960's and 1990's). Busby has a talented player named Duncan Edwards. The boy from Dudley, West Midlands plays its debut at age 16 in 1953. Edwards is said to be able to play in all positions and many who saw him play say he is the best player. The next season, 1956-57, they won the league again and reached the FA Cup final, losing to Aston Villa. They became the first English team to participate in the European Champions Cup competition, at the discretion of the FA. Last season, Chelsea's FA void to appear in the Champions Cup. United reach the semi-finals and then failed by Real Madrid. On his way to the semi-final, United also recorded a victory that continued to show that they are a great team, beating Belgian champions Anderlecht 10-0 at Maine Road.
A plate of memories at Old Trafford as a tribute to the players who died in the tragedy of Munich Air.
Tragedy struck the following season, when the plane carrying the team home from the European Champions Cup match crashed on landing in Munich, Germany to refuel. Munich air disaster of 6 February 1958 claimed the lives of eight team players - Geoff Bent, Roger Byrne, Eddie Colman, Duncan Edwards, Mark Jones, David Pegg, Tommy Taylor and Liam "Billy" Whelan - and 15 other passengers, including some of United's staff, Walter Crickmer, Bert Whalley and Tom Curry. [5] There was 2 times before landing the third fatal error occurred, which caused instability airspeed because of the mud. United goalkeeper Harry Gregg maintain consciousness during the accident and under the fear of the plane will explode, save Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet by tightening the seat belt. Seven United players died at the scene, while Duncan Edwards died when a trip to the hospital. Right-winger Johnny Berry also survived the crash, but the injury makes his football career ended quickly. Munich doctor said that Matt Busby did not have much hope, but he recovered miraculously, and finally out of hospital after two months in hospital.
There are rumors that the team would resign from the competition, but Jimmy Murphy taking over as manager while Busby was hospitalized, the club continued competition. Despite losing players, they reach the 1958 FA Cup final, where they lost to Bolton Wanderers. End of the season, UEFA offered the FA to be able to send the league champions United and Wolverhampton Wanderers to participate in the Cup as a tribute to the victims of accidents, but the FA declined. United's pressure on the Wolves next season, finishing in second place standings; not bad for a team that lost nine players due Munich air tragedy.
Busby rebuilt the team in the early decades of the '60s, players like Denis Law and Pat Crerand. Perhaps the most famous of a number of young players is a young man named George Best Belfast. Best has keatletikkan very rare. The team won the FA Cup in 1963, although only finish diurutan 19 Division One. FA Cup triumph makes players become motivated and make up the second place club league in 1964, and won the league in 1965 and 1967. United won the European Cup in 1968, beating Eusebio care team SL Benfica 4-1 in the final, Britain became the first team to win the competition. United's team now has European Footballer, namely: Bobby Charlton, Denis Law and George Best. Matt Busby resigned in 1969 and replaced by reserve team coach, Wilf McGuinness.
Difficult period (1969-1986)
After a glorious period, United had a difficult time when handled Wilf McGuinness, finished diurutan eight league in 1969-70 season. Then he started the 1970-71 season badly, so McGuinness back down position became reserve team coach. United's Busby re-train, although only 6 months. Under the care Busby, United get better results, but in the end he left the club in 1971. In that time, United lost some key players such as Nobby Stiles and Pat Crerand.
Celtic manager who managed to bring the Cup to Glasgow, Jock Stein, was appointed to fill the position of manager - Stein had been verbally agreed a contract with United, but decided against it -. Frank O'Farrell was appointed as successor to Busby. Like McGuinness, O'Farrell did not last more than 18 months, the difference is only O'Farrell reacted to overcome poor performances of United by bringing new faces into the club, the most obvious is hired Martin Buchan from Aberdeen for £ 125,000. Tommy Docherty became manager at the end of 1972. Docherty, or "Doc", saved United from relegation, but United's relegation in 1974, then a trio of Best, Law and Charlton had left the club. Denis Law moved to Manchester City in the summer of 1973. Players like Lou Macari, Stewart Houston and Brian Greenhoff recruited to replace Best, Law and Charlton, but did not produce anything.
The team won promotion in his first year in Division Two, with a big role Steve Coppell talented young players who played well in his first season with United, joined from Tranmere Rovers. United reached the FA Cup Final in 1976, but they were beaten Southampton. They reached the final again in 1977 and beat Liverpool 2-1. In this success, Docherty was sacked because it is known to have a relationship with the wife of physiotherapy.
Dave Sexton replaced Docherty in the summer of 1977 and make teams play more defensively. Preferred style of play is not supporters, they preferred attacking style of Docherty and Busby. Some players like Joe Sexton buy Jordans, Gordon McQueen, Gary Bailey and Ray Wilkins, but can not lift United penetrate to the top flight, only once finished out second, and only once qualified for the final round of the FA Cup, Arsenal defeated. Because not won, Sexton was sacked in 1981, although he won his last seven games.
He replaced the flamboyant Ron Atkinson manager. He broke the British transfer record by buying Bryan Robson from West Brom. Robson mentioned is the best midfielder after the death of Duncan Edwards. Atkinson has a new team players such as Jesper Olsen, Paul McGrath and Gordon Strachan playing with Norman Whiteside and Mark Hughes. United won the FA Cup two times in three years, in 1983 and 1985, and favored to win the 1985-86 league season after winning his first 10 league games, opening a range of 10 points with his nearest rival until October 1986. Appearance United then became worse and United finished the season fourth in the order of the standings. United's poor results continued until the end of the season and with a poor outcome of threshold limit degradation, in November 1986, Atkinson was sacked. After that United's recruiting a new coach, Sir Alex Ferguson.

This makes Ferguson was saved and eventually United won the FA Cup, after beating Crystal Palace in the party re-finals.
