The Top Rivalries That Define Manchester United

“Glory, Glory, Manchester United.” It always gives me goosebumps whenever I hear this slogan. Manchester United, nicknamed the Red Devils, was founded in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR Football Club; later, in 1902, the club changed its name to Manchester United. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world, with over 1.1B fanbase and followers all over the world! Getting to this height is not as easy as it looks. You have to fight with your biggest enemies and rivals to get what you deserve.

For me, the top three rivals of Man U are, Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal. For those who are passionate about the anticipation of these clashes, Soccer Betway is the perfect platform where the thrill of the game increases with the anticipation of the victory.

1. Manchester United vs. Liverpool

United vs Liverpool has been one of the greatest matches in sport. Nevertheless, both clubs are the biggest clubs in the world. The stakes are always high when they meet on the football ground. Let’s check their head-to-head clashes.

United holds a better record than Liverpool in terms of the overall count between the two sides. In the ’70s and ’80s, Liverpool dominated and had unprecedented success, but Sir Alex Ferguson dethroned them and took United to the winning track.

2. Manchester United vs Manchester City

The Manchester Derby! Two teams from the same city are bound to develop an intense rivalry in any sport, especially when the two clubs are fighting to gain the “Greatest Club of All Time” tag. Both of these clubs have won the treble.

The Manchester derby has always been full of excitement, and despite City’s dominance in recent years, Manchester is still red.

3. Manchester United vs Arsenal

At one time, only United and Arsenal were in the English Premier League. Roy Keane vs Patrick Vieira, the two mid-field magicians, looked up to this match more than anyone else, thanks to their rough tackles, heated battles and controversies, and the clash of personalities between Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger. Throughout their time, they produced fantastic gameplay due to their quality players and, ofcourse, their strategies.

Throughout the years, Manchester United has beaten many top-tier clubs to win major trophies and made a special place in people’s hearts and clearly, you can watch them in style.
