They played on a small, dilapidated field on
North Road for 15 years before moving to
Bank Street in the nearby town of
Clayton in 1893. The club had entered
The Football League the previous year and began to sever its links with the rail depot, becoming an independent company, appointing a club secretary, and dropping the "L&YR" from its name to become simply
Newton Heath F.C.[12] By the beginning of 1902 though, the club was on the verge of bankruptcy with debts of £2,670, equivalent to about £210,000 as of 2010.
[13][14] The club's finances had been hit by a combination of dropping attendances and the "body blow" of the expense of a court case it had initiated against the
Birmingham Daily Gazette newspaper and one of its reporters following a 4–1 defeat of
West Bromwich on 14 October 1893: "It wasn't football" the newspaper reported, "it was simply brutality and if these are the tactics Newton Heath are compelled to adopt to win their matches, the sooner the Football Association deal severely with them the better it will be for the game generally." The judge who heard the case eventually awarded Newton Heath one
farthing in damages and ordered that each side should pay its own costs.

Louis Rocca, a young
immigrant from Italy, said "Gentlemen, why don't we call ourselves Manchester United?"
