Join the Movement – Become a Co-owner of FC United of Manchester

Experience football ownership like never before. FC United of Manchester offers you the chance to be more than just a fan — become a co-owner and help shape the future of a club that stands for something different.

Founded in 2005 by supporters in response to the Glazer takeover of Manchester United, FC United was created to reclaim football for the people. We are fully owned and democratically run by our members on a one member, one vote basis. For just £25 a year, you can have an equal say in key decisions — from electing the Board to setting ticket prices and choosing the design of our playing shirts. Your voice genuinely matters here.

As a not-for-profit club, every penny we raise is reinvested into running the club and delivering vital community work across Greater Manchester. We’re proud to offer some of the most affordable ticket prices in the country, with season ticket prices for under 18s working out at only £1 for game. Inclusiveness is at the heart of what we do — we believe football should be for everyone, no matter their income, background, ability or identity.

Just as importantly, we protect fan culture. From singing on the terraces to making decisions off the pitch, supporters shape the identity of FC United. Our constitution ensures the club can never be bought by a private individual or company — no one can profit from our success. That means the club will always belong to the people who care most: the fans.

Most co-owners are passionate FC United supporters, but we welcome anyone who believes in a fairer, more democratic future for football. Recently, Eric Cantona and his entire family became co-owners, recognising the importance of what we stand for. The more members we have, the stronger our collective voice in proving that fans can lead the way.

By becoming a co-owner, you’re not just supporting a football club — you’re joining a movement to protect the soul of the game. Together, we can change the face of football and return it to the communities it’s meant to serve.

Come on the journey with us — and help us show what football can be, when it belongs to everyone.

Joining FC United means you’re part of something bigger — a fan-owned club where your voice matters.

Young people play a vital role at FC United — and for just £3, those under 16 can become Junior Members and start their journey towards becoming full Co-owners at 16.

Junior Members can help plan and shape their own activities, with a range of events taking place throughout the season.

Each year, Junior Members are invited free of charge to our:

Christmas Party
Hallowe’en Party
Easter Party
Teddy Bear’s Picnic (especially for our tiniest members)

They also enjoy a reduced rate for our annual tenpin bowling afternoon — where they’ll bowl alongside players and the management team. It’s always one of the highlights of the year.

Junior Members aged 3 and above can also take part as matchday mascots, leading the team out onto the pitch, or join our ball crew. Every Junior Member receives a birthday card signed by the players and management — a personal touch that means a lot.

We’ve recently launched Junior Member Meetings — a space where young fans can share their ideas for the club, ask questions of the players and board, and take part in shaping the future. Junior Members also get the chance to vote for the FC United Junior Player of the Season and design our official Christmas card.
