What a pointless question. When the home town / city / country of the sporting team in the news is not immediately obvious from its name or the context, and needs to be mentioned very early on to avoid confusion, then a phrase such as "X-ian football team Fooian United" might, might be useful in the opening sentence. Until mainstream media starts articles by saying "Manchester-based football team Manchester United", "Madrid-based football team Real Madrid", etc, then I might reconsider my view that such phrases are clumsy and unprofessional. Finding an example of one team that has a different name from the city in which it plays does not prove you right. Bencherlite (talk) 19:42, 31 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

@Pi zero: changing a parameter of Manchester United's infobox lookup has affected this article. Please check it.
