These clubs each have fewer than 500,000 online supporters (less than 0.75 percent of Manchester United's total). It will always be difficult for these teams to compete with the more popular clubs, but the longer they stay in the Premier League and grow their fan base, the simpler it will get. Manchester United was launched in October 1945 by an American named Charles M. Phelps Jr., who wanted to create a club that would represent all of Britain. He chose the name after the first royal city of England. Phelps sold Manchester United to The Ole & Thum Company in 1973 and it has been owned by the Glazer family since 2005. The club currently plays in the Premier League, which is the highest level of English football. Its home ground is Old Trafford, located in Greater Manchester. The team has won the FA Cup twice and the Europa League once. This year they have made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. United's average league attendance last season was 76,828, which was third lowest in the Premier League. However, they did set a new record when they received their half-millionth ticket sale at Old Trafford. The club has also announced plans to build a new stadium that will be able to hold 75,000 people. The project is expected to be completed by 2024.
