It was founded in 1917 (originally named Odd, changed to Rosenborg Ballklub in 1927) and has impressively won the Norwegian League the last 13 seas. Unlike those Liverpool sides, however, Manchester United have been largely unable to transfer their domestic dominance to European competition; in fact qualifying for the European Cup final, like Steaua and Reims, on only two occasions in their history.
Their last success in this competition was in 1999, when they came from behind in the last minutes of the UEFA Champions League final to beat Bayern Munich 2-1. United also won the League and FA Cup in that season, a "Treble" achievement unprecedented in English football.
