The club's crest was included for the first time on their jersey at the start of the 1971 season.

Since the early 1990s, the club's mascot has been Fred the Red, a "red devil", who appears in full kit with the number 55 on the back of his shirt, and entertains the crowd before matches.

The "United Trinity" is a statue of George Best, Denis Law, and Sir Bobby Charlton, who helped Manchester United become the first ever English club team to win the European Cup in 1968. In subsequent years, various triumvirates have been dubbed the "new Trinity", including academy graduates and one-club men Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville, who played in the senior team together between 1992 and 2011 and Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Carlos Tevez, who played together at United when the team won the Premier League and reached the UEFA Champions League final in 2008 and 2009.
