Manchester city was formed in 1880 as saint marks (west gorton)

Manchester United was formed in 1882 as Newton heath railway club

Manchester city was there first

Think you must have gathered your information from a Christmas cracker. The facts. Manchester United were formed in 1878 as Newton Heath L & YR FC. Manchester City were formed as you say in 1880. Manchester United were here (not ''there'' take it your a non mancunian) first. Anyone that is foolish enough to believe the first answer please search the net and you will find my information is correct.

Sheffield Utd are the oldest league club to be called Utd, a name adopted after the Wednesday FC moved out of Bramhall Lane. Bramhall Lane is the oldest football stadium still in use. Up the Owls!

Manchester United was founded in 1878, two years before Manchester City (1880). It wasn't until 1902 and 1894 respectively did the clubs had their names to the current ones.
