Honours
Manchester United's first trophy was the Manchester Cup, which they won as Newton Heath LYR in 1886. Their first national senior honour came in 1908, when they won the 190708 Football League First Division title. The club also won the FA Cup for the first time the following year. In terms of the number of trophies won, the 1990s was Manchester United's most successful decade, during which time they won five league titles, four FA Cups, one League Cup, five Charity Shields (one shared), one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup.
The club currently holds the record for the most FA Cups, with 11, and the
record for the most FA Cup Final appearances, with 18. They were also the first
team to win the Premier League, as well as holding the record for the most Premier
League titles (11), and became the first English team to win the European Cup
when they won it in 1968. Their most recent trophy came in February 2010, when
they won the Football League Cup. The only major honour that Manchester United
F.C. has not yet won is the UEFA Europa League.
