The club is also a member of the G-14 group of Europe’s leading football clubs. The Club’s manager has been Sir Alex Ferguson who has been managing the reigns since 1986. The captain of the club is Gary Neville, who replaced Roy Keane in November 2005.
Most of the people feel Liverpool as the biggest rival to Manchester United, as they have a decent success ratio as well and are close to each other as well. Few consider Manchester City as their biggest rival as well. The competition with Liverpool is quite ancient as well, since 1960s when both the clubs were competing for being the strongest club in England.
Since then, they have been fighting to keep each other at toes by coming back strongly in every next season. Everton, Leeds United and even Arsenal are few of the other rivals of Manchester United.
