It's easy to win when you cheat and break the rules, and then lie about knowingly doing it.

You mean "soccer" which is what the English first called it when they created it.
Why?
The sport is "Association Football". Notice the SOC in "Association".
And notice that FIFA is the acronym based on the French wording of the federation:
Fédération Internationale de Football Association
which translated to English is:
The International Federation of Association Football.

So, I will correct it for you like this:
Association Football: Manchester United

I don't give a shit about everyone else.
99% used to think the world was flat too.
That doesn't mean it's right.
But that's besides the point.
In the US of A, it's "soccer" (as it should be) as reflected in these names and websites:

United States Soccer Federation aka "U. S. Soccer"
https://www.ussoccer.com/

and Major League Soccer
https://www.mlssoccer.com/

That said, I will let you say "Association Football" just like football in the USA and Canada are examples of "Gridiron Football". "Association Football" IS the official name of the sport. The only reason why it's called "football"/"futbol" elsewhere is because many of those nations don't play any other type of football ("gridiron" or "rugby"...), so they just drop "Association". Their shortening of the name of association football to "football" is no more or less righteous than the Americans adopting the original British shortening of association football to "soccer".

It's FOOTBALL now. Every one calls it Football across the globe, even the players. I don't know what you are trying to prove? Do you even watch FOOTBALL?

I do know the origins of the name. But things change over time. Just like Manchester United was originally named Newton Heath LYR FOOTBALL Club and wore yellow and green kits , something they no longer do.

Not only do I watch soccer, I played it for several years in the 1970s.
In the US, it's still soccer and that's the word I will use.
And I'll still drive on the right hand side of the road.
And I will still spell words without an extra u as in colour, flavour, etc.
And I will still spell words with "er" instead of "re" as in "liter", "center", "meter", "theater" instead of "litre", "centre", "metre", and "theatre" no matter how many other people speak "The Queen's English".

@abc3643 Speaking of your "notice the SOC in Association"... Notice the FOOT in FOOTBALL. Only Americans consider football the sport where half the time the ball is in the air. And America doesn't cover most of the planet

Especially the SOC means in reference to human communcations, like SOCiety, AsSOCiations that have nothing to do with sports, SOCial, etc.
