Red Devils

The devil on the club badge stems from the club's nickname "The Red Devils", which was adopted in the early 1960s after Matt Busby heard it in reference to the red-shirted Salford Rugby League side

Newton Heath was the original name and the club was becoming broke. A new invester came in and helped keep them afloat.

It was decided at one of the early board meetings that the club required a change of name to reflect the fresh start they had been afforded. Manchester Central and Manchester Celticwere among the names suggested, before Louis Rocca, a young immigrant from Italy, said "Gentlemen, why don't we call ourselves Manchester United?"

Manchester United was founded as Newton Heath LYR FC in 1878. In 1902 the club ran into financial difficulties and was about to fold, when local brewery owner John Henry Davies took over the club. Davies made two conditions for paying the club's debts - that they change their name to Manchester United, and that they play in red, white and black (instead of Newton Heath's green and gold).

Because we were green and yellow but then the glazer's bought the club and prefered the colour red so they changed to red. I preferd green and gold!
