Manchester United fans that were upset when Malcolm Glazer bought the team in 2005 started their own club - FC United of Manchester.

The new club started playing at Level 10 of the English football pyramid in 2005. 10 years later they were promoted to Level 6 of the pyramid where they currently reside.

If they keep this up they could be in the Championship in another 10-15 years.
