I believe Sheffield were the first team to be called United, if memory serves Newcastle were the second, and I forget the third.

Newton Heath were only the fourth team to be called United, when they changed their name to Manchester.

Leeds United arrived in 1919, after Leeds City got done for, of all things, paying players.

There are in fact 14 other Uniteds in the English football league, namely Newcastle, Sheffield, West Ham, Carlisle, Southend, Hartlepool, Scunthorpe, Leeds, Torquay, Rotherham, Peterborough, Colchester, Cambridge and Oxford.

It would be nice if fans of Manchester United could remember that.

And United have more fans than all those combined...traditionally too
