Information
The following information was summarised from various sources for your convenience.
Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Stretford, Greater Manchester. Founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, the club changed its name after coming close to bankruptcy in 1902, ten years after joining The Football League and six years before its first league title. Having won a joint-record 18 league titles, four League Cups and a record 11FA Cups, Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football and one of the wealthiest and most widely supported football teams in the world. The club is currently third, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, in the Deloitte Football Money League, but were it not for the depreciation of the pound sterling against the euro, Manchester United would have the highest revenue of any football club worldwide. In December 2008, the club won the 2008 FIFA Club World Cup and followed this with the 200809 Football League Cup, and its third successive Premier League title. Rivalries
Manchester United has major ongoing rivalries with three clubs: Liverpool, Manchester City and Leeds United. In 2010, Forbes magazine ranked Manchester United second only to the New York Yankees in its list of the ten most valuable sports team brands, valuing the Manchester United brand at $285million (16percent of the club's $1.835billion value). Through Manchester United Finance and the club's membership scheme, One United, those with an affinity for the club can purchase a range of branded goods and services. In terms of the number of trophies won, the 1990s was Manchester United's most successful decade: during the 1990s, the club won five league titles, four FA Cups, one League Cup, five Charity Shields (one shared), one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, one UEFA Super Cup and one Intercontinental Cup. managers

A star is a massive, luminous ball of plasma held together by gravity. The only exception is a faint image of a large star cluster containing hundreds of thousands of stars located one billion light years awayten times the distance of the most distant star cluster previously observed. Early stars of less than 2 solar masses are called T Tauri stars, while those with greater mass are Herbig Ae/Be stars. Most of the matter in the star is blown away by the supernovae explosion (forming nebulae such as the Crab Nebula) and what remains will be a neutron star (which sometimes manifests itself as a pulsar or X-ray burster) or, in the case of the largest stars (large enough to leave a stellar remnant greater than roughly 4 solar masses), a black hole. Temperature The surface temperature of a main sequence star is determined by the rate of energy production at the core and the radius of the star and is often estimated from the star's color index. This means that a first magnitude (+1.00) star is about 2.5 times brighter than a second magnitude (+2.00) star, and approximately 100 times brighter than a sixth magnitude (+6.00) star. As a result the core temperature of main sequence stars only varies from 4 million K for a small M-class star to 40 million K for a massive O-class star. NASA image
