Its nickname is "the Red Devils". The club started as Newton Heath LYR Football Club, in 1878. It changed its name to Manchester United in 1902. It moved to its current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

But the nickname that seems to have stuck for United is 'The Red Devils'. And, surprisingly, many individuals do not know how the Premier League side developed the quirky nickname.

United were firstly nicknamed 'The Heathens' in their formative years, when the club was established in 1878 and named 'Newton Heath Football Club'.

However, when the club rebranded itself as Manchester United Football Club in 1902 and is more often than not simply referred to as 'United'.

Although, when the famous Sir Matt Busby took charge of the club in 1945 a sudden injection of youth emerged. His trust in the youngsters led to the media dubbing United as 'The Busby Babes'.

It was a nickname which would not turn away from the 'Busby Babes' era but establish a different Manchester United period in its own right.

The rest is history.
