Ok fine...

Following growing disputes over the running and financing of the club, in June 1900 Thames Ironworks F.C. was disbanded,[4] then almost immediately relaunched on 5 July 1900 as West Ham United F.C.

Point being using united without a unification is hardly new or unique to mls.

Well often times they had competing board members or supporter groups / pubs that would "unite" going forward. Leeds united was like this even though it was a new club formed after the demise of Leeds City . But it wasnt as cynical and soulless as MLS

Newcastle United was born from a merger

Man U just decided to use United

Same w/ West Ham and other teams

No need to grow a beard...but:

In January 1902, with debts of £2,670 – equivalent to £260,000 in 2017[nb 1] – the club was served with a winding-up order.[15] Captain Harry Stafford found four local businessmen, including John Henry Davies (who became club president), each willing to invest £500 in return for a direct interest in running the club and who subsequently changed the name;[16] on 24 April 1902, Manchester United was officially born.

Ohh what a "uniting" of teams!

Pro sports teams should just start out as the name of the city-- e.g., Philadelphia. As time goes on and they build a fan base and as journalists cover the team, the nickname can evolve organically. This is what happened in baseball in the early years (Cubs, Red Sox, Indians, etc.)
