List of F.C. United of Manchester seasons

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

F.C. United of Manchester is an English semi-professional association football club based in Moston, Manchester, that competes in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. The club was formed in June 2005 by supporters of Manchester United opposed to American businessman Malcolm Glazer's takeover of that club.[1] F.C. United are owned and democratically run by their supporters and operate as a community benefit society on a one-member, one vote basis.[2]

F.C. United players and coaches celebrate winning their first championship title. The championship trophy is seen on the green grass pitch and the group have their arms around one another.
F.C. United celebrate becoming champions of the North West Counties Football League Division Two after the last game of their inaugural 2005–06 season.

F.C. United were accepted into Division Two of the North West Counties Football League, at level ten of the English football pyramid, for the 2005–06 season.[1] They achieved three consecutive promotions in the first three years of their existence and were promoted for a fourth time to compete in the National League North for the 2015–16 season. They were relegated to the Northern Premier League Premier Division 2019 where they continue to play.

F.C. United reached the second round of the FA Cup during the 2010–11 season, and the first round during the 2015–16 and 2020–21 seasons. The club also reached the fourth round of the FA Trophy during the 2014–15 season and the third round of the FA Vase during the 2006–07 season. In minor competitions, F.C. United won the FENIX Trophy in the 2021–22 and 2023–24 seasons, the Manchester Premier Cup during the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, the North West Counties Football League Challenge Cup during the 2006–07 season, and the Northern Premier League President's Cup during the 2007–08 season.

From their formation to 2015, due to the lack of their own ground, F.C. United played their home matches at multiple stadia around Greater Manchester, including Bury's Gigg Lane, Curzon Ashton's Tameside Stadium and Stalybridge Celtic's Bower Fold, among others.[3] The club moved into its own 4,400-capacity Broadhurst Park in north-east Manchester for the 2015–16 season.
