Football Club United of Manchester (FC United of Manchester, FC United, FCUoM atau FCUM singkatnya) adalah sebuah klub semiprofesional yang bermain di Northern Premier League Premier Division, yang berada pada tingkat ketujuh dalam hirarki liga sepakbola di Inggris.

Kemunculan FCUM--salah satu faktor yang signifikan--berawal dari kekecewaan para pendukung Manchester United terhadap pengambilalihan yang dilakukan oleh Malcolm Glazer pada tahun 2005. Campur tangan pihak asing dengan kekuatan modalnya ini membuat sejumlah besar pendukung United memilih mencabut dukungannya. Mereka disebut "The Red Rebels".

Pertemuan demi pertemuan pun diadakan oleh para suporter yang kecewa. Awalnya tidak ada ide untuk membuat sebuah klub baru, melainkan hanya sebuah penegasan sikap menolak Glazer. Pada perkembangannya, berbekal 1.000 tandatangan dukungan dan bantuan finansial dari para suporter serta simpatisan, sebuah klub baru bernama FC United terbentuk. Nama FC United ditolak FA karena dianggap terlalu generik. Menyikapinya, polling pun digelar untuk mencari nama yang tepat. Pada 14 June 2005, nama FC United of Manchester resmi terpilih dengan 44,7% suara. (AFC Manchester 1878 25,7%, Newton Heath United FC 25,4% dan FC Manchester Central 1,7%). Pertandingan pertama mereka adalah melawan Leigh Railway Mechanics Institute, pada 16 Juli 2005 yang berakhir dengan 0-0.

FCUM selalu berhasil promosi di tiga musim pertamanya. Mereka melakukan debut di North West Counties League Division Two dan keluar sebagai juara sehingga berhak mendapat promosi ke liga di atasnya, North West Counties League Division One. FCUM bahkan mendapat double winner karena juga berhasil menjuarai NWCFL's Challenge Cup. Pada musim 2007-2008 FCUM juga berhasil menyabet gelar kejuaraan Unibond Presidents Cup. Gelar ini menjadi yang kelima dalam tiga tahun usia mereka sebagai sebuah klub. Di liga, FCUM mengakhiri liga di posisi kedua dan harus melewati babak playoff untuk mendapat jatah promosi. Dan seperti yang kita tahu, mereka berhasil dan kembali naik kelas ke Northern Premier League Premier Division.

Pada musim 2008-2009, FCUM mengawali liga dengan tersendat-sendat namun pada akhir musim tetap mampu menempati posisi untuk memperebutkan satu posisi play-off. Melalui pertandingan yang dramatis melawan Kendal Town, FCUM harus menunda keinginan untuk promosi setelah gol menit ke-88 yang mengubah kedudukan menjadi 3-2 untuk Kendal. Di musim ini, FCUM juga mengalami start buruk. Hingga tulisan ini dibuat, FCUM masih berada di posisi ke-18 dari 21 klub di Northern Premier League.

Organisation

Quote:

FC United is an Industrial and Provident Society. Membership is obtained by paying an annual fee of £10 to the club (£3 for children), but each member receives only one share in the club and is entitled to a single vote at meetings, regardless of the amount donated.
The club has an elected board of eleven members.
The club has two full-time employee positions: Andy Walsh as chief executive and Lindsey Robertson. Andy Walsh was heavily involved in the club's formation.
The club's manifesto includes the following core principles:
1. The Board will be democratically elected by its members.
2. Decisions taken by the membership will be decided on a one member, one vote basis.
3. The club will develop strong links with the local community and strive to be accessible to all, discriminating against none.
4. The club will endeavour to make admission prices as affordable as possible, to as wide a constituency as possible.
5. The club will encourage young, local participation - playing and supporting - whenever possible.
6. The Board will strive wherever possible to avoid outright commercialism.
7. The club will remain a non-profit organisation.
8. The club accepts sponsorship but does not allow sponsors' logos to be displayed on the team's shirts. The club's main sponsor in its inaugural 2005-06 season was the Bhopal Medical Appeal and in season 2006-07 it was the Williams BMW Group.
Future aspirations

Quote:

In November 2006 at the club's Annual General Meeting, the club outlined bold aspirations for the forthcoming six years including:
- winning promotion in three successive seasons to take them to Conference North by 2009. (The goal of three successive promotions was completed, however due to league restructuring, F.C. United have to be promoted one more time to reach Conference North.)
- reaching an average of 5,000 supporters per home game by 2009.
building their own 7,000 - 10,000 capacity stadium, as central to Greater Manchester as possible, by 2012.
- developing their own training facilities by 2009.
- starting a women's team for the 2007-08 season. (This has not happened yet).
Results

Quote:

Winning promotion in three successive seasons was accomplished on 3 May 2008, and they currently compete in the Northern Premier League this season. One further promotion would have put the team in Conference North by 2009-10, exactly as planned in November 2006; however, United of Manchester ended in 6th place, missing the playoffs.

mereka pemegang rekor dan pemecah rekor penonton utk setiap divis yg mereka lalu, pernah ketika di fisrt division northwest mrka memiliki rataan penonton 6 ribuan,pdhl rata2 penonton klub lain di divisi itu adalah 1-2000an, hehehehee....

pahlawan atau legenda mereka adalah rory pattersen, kalau beckham bisa nyetak gol dr setegah lapangan ketika melawan wimbledon,maka pemain FC UNited bernama Rory juga sudah pernah melakukan gol spektakuler seperti itu......

next kl mereka lolos ke confrence jgn heran kalau ketemu MU di piala carling or Piala FA cup....
