About: 1939–40 Manchester United F.C. season

Property	Value
dbo:abstract	The 1939–40 season would have been Manchester United's 44th season in the Football League, and their second season back in the top flight after playing in the Second Division in 1937–38. However, due to the outbreak of war in Europe in September 1939, the league season was abandoned after just three games and the results expunged from the records. For this reason, appearances made and goals scored in the Football League matches that were played do not contribute to a player's overall appearances and goals record. Many of Manchester United's players went off to fight in the war, but for those who remained, the Football League organised a special War League. The War League was originally split into ten regional divisions (Manchester United were placed in the Western Division), in accordance with the Government's 50-mile travel limit. A War League Cup was also set up to replace the FA Cup, which had also been interrupted at the Preliminary Round phase. United finished the league season with a record of 14 wins and 8 losses, and also reached the second round of the cup before losing to eventual runners-up, Blackburn Rovers. (en) Сезон 1939/40 должен был стать для «Манчестер Юнайтед» 44-м сезоном в Футбольной лиге и вторым сезоном после возвращения в высший дивизион. Однако в сентябре 1939 года все официальные футбольные турниры в Англии были прекращены в связи с началом войны. Команды Футбольной лиги успели сыграть только 3 тура, но все результаты матчей были отменены и не включаются в официальную статистику клубов и футболистов. Многие игроки «Манчестер Юнайтед» были призваны на службу и приняли участие в войне, однако часть игроков осталась в клубе. Для оставшихся в своих клубах игроков Футбольная лига организовала специальный турнир — Военную лигу (War League). Изначально Военная лига состояла из 10 региональных дивизионов («Манчестер Юнайтед» попал в западный дивизион) в соответствии с поставлением правительства Великобритании об установлении 50-мильного лимита на передвижения по стране. Также из-за опасения немецких бомбардировок вводился лимит на максимальное количество зрителей на стадионах (8000 человек), однако впоследствии этот лимит был снят. Вместо Кубка Англии был организован Военный кубок Футбольной лиги (War League Cup). (ru)
