On 15 February 1945, United manager Walter Crickmer had resigned and four days later on 19 February 1945, the Scottish manager Matt Busby was signed, but it was not until 1 October that Busby officially took over the reins at Manchester United.

Many of Manchester United's players went off to fight in the war, but for those who remained, the Football League organised a special War League.
