- Manchester United Football Club was formed in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath. The team initially played games against other departments and rail companies at their home ground at North Road, but by 1888 the club had become a founding member of The Combination, a regional football league. However, following the league's dissolution before the end of its first season, Newton Heath joined the newly formed Football Alliance, which ran for three seasons before being merged with The Football League. This resulted in the club starting the 1892–93 season in the First Division, by which time it had become independent of the rail company, dropped the "LYR" from its name and moved to a new ground at Bank Street. After just two seasons, the club was relegated to the Second Division. In January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £310,000 in 2022 – the club was served with a winding-up order. Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen – including John Henry Davies, who became club president – each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club. As a mark of this fresh start, on 24 April 1902, the club's name was changed to "Manchester United". Under Ernest Mangnall, who became club secretary in 1903, the team finished as Second Division runners-up in 1906 and secured promotion to the First Division, which it won in 1908 – the club's first league title. The following season began with victory in the first ever Charity Shield and ended with the club's first FA Cup title. Manchester United moved to a new stadium at Old Trafford in 1910, and won the First Division for the second time in 1911, but at the end of the following season, secretary Mangnall left to join Manchester City. In 1922, three years after the resumption of football following the First World War, the club was relegated to the Second Division, where it remained until regaining promotion in 1925. Relegated again in 1931, Manchester United became a yo-yo club, achieving its all-time lowest position of 20th place in the Second Division in 1934. Following the death of John Henry Davies in October 1927, the club's finances deteriorated to the extent that Manchester United would likely have gone bankrupt had it not been for an investment of £2,000 in December 1931 by James W. Gibson, who assumed control of the club. In the 1938–39 season – the last year of football before the Second World War – the club finished 14th in the First Division. During the war, the club participated in the Wartime League and the Football League War Cup, but in 1941, Old Trafford was damaged by German bombs and would not be fully repaired until 1949. (en)

Awalnya Newton Heath bermain dalam pertandingan persahabatan melawan tim dari departemen dan perusahaan perkeretaapian lain di lapangan mereka di . Pada tahun 1888, mereka dan beberapa klub di Inggris Utara dan Midlands lain mendirikan liga regional . Belum genap semusim berjalan, liga tersebut dibubarkan. Newton Heath kemudian bermain di Football Alliance, liga yang baru dibentuk pada waktu itu. Setelah tiga musim berjalan, pada musim 1892-93, liga tersebut digabung dengan Football League, kompetisi liga profesional berskala nasional pertama di Inggris. Newton Heath terpilih untuk bertanding di Divisi Pertama. Di saat yang bersamaan, mereka resmi menjadi klub independen yang tidak terafiliasi dengan Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway sehingga "LYR" dihapus dari nama klub. Pada Juni 1893, klub berpindah markas ke stadion di . Pada akhir musim 1893-94, klub terdegradasi ke Divisi Kedua. Pada Januari 1902, disebabkan oleh utang sebesar £2.670 (setara dengan £290.000 pada 2021), Newton Heath dinyatakan pailit oleh pengadilan. Kapten tim, Harry Stafford, kemudian berhasil menemukan empat orang pengusaha lokal yang bersedia menanam modal masing-masing sebesar £500 ke klub. Salah satu dari pengusaha tersebut adalah John Henry Davies; dia kemudian menjadi presiden klub. Era baru ini ditandai dengan digantinya nama klub menjadi "Manchester United" pada tanggal 24 April 1902. Pada masa (ditunjuk sebagai sekretaris klub tetapi juga berperan sebagai manajer tim), Manchester United mengakhiri musim 1905-06 di urutan kedua Divisi Kedua dan promosi ke Divisi Pertama. Pada musim 1907-08, United memenangkan Charity Shield dan Divisi Pertama untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah klub. Semusim kemudian, United berhasil memenangkan Piala FA pertama mereka. Pada tahun 1910, United pindah markas ke stadion baru mereka, Old Trafford. Semusim setelahnya, mereka menjadi juara Divisi Pertama untuk kedua kalinya. Era keemasan ini berakhir setelah Mangnall pindah ke Manchester City pada tahun 1912. Pada musim 1921-22, tiga tahun setelah kompetisi sepak bola di Inggris dilanjutkan kembali pasca Perang Dunia I, Manchester United terdegradasi ke Divisi Kedua. Promosi baru dapat diraih kembali pada musim 1924-25, tetapi klub kembali mengalami degradasi di musim 1930-31 dan menjadi klub yoyo. Klub mengakhiri musim 1933-34 di urutan ke-20 Divisi Kedua, urutan liga terburuk dalam sejarah klub. Pasca meninggalnya John Henry Davies pada Oktober 1927, kondisi keuangan United memburuk. Klub kemungkinan akan pailit untuk kedua kalinya seandainya tidak menanam modal senilai £2.000 pada Desember 1931. Pada musim terakhir sebelum Perang Dunia II meletus, 1938-39, United mengakhiri musim di urutan ke-14 Divisi Pertama. Selama peperangan, klub berkompetisi di dan . Old Trafford mengalami kerusakan parah pada tahun 1941 akibat dibom oleh Jerman dan baru selesai dipugar pada tahun 1949. (in)
