They conquered England and then the whole of Europe to extend their Red Mancunian kingdom. Now, they are the crowned champions of the world.
Manchester United Football Club is a ruling empire on the entire soccer planet.

The Red Devils came out victorious from an eventful battle, which took place in Yokohama, against South American champions LDU Quito of Ecuador. The fight was tough and only one goal separated the two camps.
Manchester United were the dominant force on the field and did not stop attacking the South American’s defensive fortress.
Tevez and Rooney took charge of firing shots upfront but Jose Cevallo’s outstanding performance helped him defend Quito’s goal line. Michael Carrick, Ji-Sung Park and the crowd’s favourite Cristiano Ronaldo, of course. were also all involved in keeping Cevallo very busy.

Neither sides were able to break the deadlock after at the end of the 45 minutes. Fate meant that the main part of this game’s history had to be played in the second period.
After only 4 minutes gone down the clock in the second half, Manchester United’s Nemanja Vidic saw red. A nasty elbow challenge cost him the end of his first ever Fifa World Club Cup adventure. His dismissal came as a big blow to the rest of his team-mates. The European champions knew that there should be no room for fears; the weakness of the Devils in terms of numbers rather strengthened their desire to win the night.

Patrice Evra was influential in defence while English knight Wayne Rooney led the attack at the other end of the battle field. The striker finally broke the deadlock on 73 minutes as he drove the ball into the bottom corner of the net.
Ten men Manchester United were hanging from the thread right until the end of the fight. Thanks to Edwin Van der Sar’s late save, the Red Champions were able to maintain their 1-0 lead and eventually seal their victory.

This historic night means that Manchester United are the first British club to win the World Cup.
The Red Champions close this memorable year on a wonderful note, with this Fifa World Club Cup trophy which adds to their EPL and Champions League titles.

The kings of the worlds resume their Premiership campaign on the 26th with a game against Stoke City. They currently lie 4th behind Aston Villa with only 7 points behind the leaders Liverpool with two games in hand.
Manchester United are therefore analytically on course to emulate the success they enjoyed in 2008. Strength, mental power, and luckiness may help them achieve that.
