BR - Manchester United and the rest of the football world resumed after the war in 1945, and the club would be reintroduced to competitive football with a manager who would go on to become one of the all-time greats.
After agreeing to join the club in February 1945, Matt Busby took charge of United on October 1,1945. Busby, who played for both Manchester City and Liverpool before the war, was given total control of all aspects of the team, which was rare for managers of the era.
