A big part of Manchester United's appeal is the rich history the club is steeped in. From the Busby babes to Fergie's fledglings, United can look back on many great sides that have tasted success over the years.

The Red Devils have a reputation for never giving up, stemming from the way Sir Matt Busby and the team clawed their way back to win the European Cup 10 years after the Munich air disaster. The biggest tragedy in the club's history took the lives of 8 players who looked set to dominate world football for years to come. But United refused to give up, and that never say die attitude resonates around Old Trafford today. 

When Sir Matt retired in 1969, he did so as the greatest to ever manage United. That was of course until a certain Alex Ferguson came along. 

They continue to write their own history and the last few decades could almost have been scripted by fans. Manchester City tasted what this is like for the briefest of moments as 'AGUEROOOOOO!' arguably provided the most dramatic end to a Premier League season ever. Despite this, I'm sure City fans would agree they have been utterly starved of historic moments on and off the pitch when compared to their biggest rivals.
