Alle som har vært på Old Trafford vet at kampopplevelsen blir enda bedre om man som supporter gjør alt for å motivere de elleve røde til å yte det lille ekstra. Fansens innsats og viktighet blir stadig vekk anerkjent av manager og spillere, og mer enn én gang har United-fansens verbale våpen gitt laget den vitamininnsprøytningen det trengte i jakten på seier.
Nedenfor har vi samlet de sangene som oftest er å høre på Old Trafford slik at det ikke finnes noen unnskyldning for å ikke henge seg på når «U-N-I-T-E-D» runger ved avspark. Alle sangene er lenket med videoklipp enten i tittelen eller i eget vindu under teksten. Flere sanger finner du på våre Kamprop-sider som i tillegg til alle klassikere og moderne sanger inneholder «chants» om egne spillere, motspillere og andre klubber.
Obligatorisk på hver hjemmekamp. Må kunnes!
U-N-I-T-E-D!
United are the team for me
With a knick knack paddy whack, give the dog a bone
Why don’t City f*ck off home!
20 TIMES
Fansens fengende hyllest til Uniteds 20. ligagull har raskt blitt én av de mest populære sangene på Old Trafford.
20 times, 20 times Man. United!
20 times, 20 times I say!
20 times, 20 times Man. United!
Playing football the (Matt) Busby way!
Hello! Hello!
We are the Busby boys!
Hello! Hello!
We are the Busby boys!
And if you are a City fan surrender or you’ll die,
We all follow United!
We are just one of those teams,
That you see now and then,
We often score six,
But we seldom score ten,
We beat ‘em at home,
And we beat ‘em away,
We kill any bastards,
That get in our way.
We are the pride of all Europe,
The cock of the North,
We hate the Scousers,
And Cockneys of course (and Leeds),
We are United,
Without any doubt,
We are the Manchester boys.
Na na na, na na na na na,
Na na na na na – OOOH!
We do what we want,
We do what we waaaa-ant,
We’re Man. United,
We do what we want!
KICKING A BLUE
Etter at City (til slutt) vant et trofé kunne man ikke lenger synge om hvor lenge siden det var siden de sist løftet sølvtøy over hodet. I løpet av 2012/13-sesongen ble denne en av fansens favoritter.
We fought in France, we fought in Spain,
We fought in the sun and we fought in the rain,
We took the Kop and Chelsea too,
But what we love most is kicking a blue,
Kicking a blue, kicking a blue,
What we love most is kicking a blue.
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,
We’ll keep the Red flag flying high,
‘Cos Man. United will never die.
OH, MANCHESTER IS WONDERFUL
Oh Manchester (oh Manchester),
Is wonderful (is wonderful),
Oh Manchester is wonderful,
Its full of tits, fanny and United,
Oh Manchester is wonderful.
Oh Merseyside (oh Merseyside),
Is full of shit (is full of shit),
Oh Merseyside is full of shit,
It’s full of shit, shit and more shit,
Oh Merseyside is full of shit.
Oh Elland Road (oh Elland Road),
Is full of sheep (is full of sheep),
Oh Elland Road is full of sheep,
It’s full of sheep, sheep and more sheep,
Oh Elland Road is full of sheep
Oh Brian Kidd (oh Brian Kidd),
Is still i Manc (is still a Manc),
Oh Brian Kidd is still a Manc
He f*cked up Leeds United,
Oh Brian Kidd is still a Manc
The San Siro (the San Siro),
Is never full (is never full),
The San Siro is never full,
Unless they play Man United,
The San Siro is never full.
Det siste verset synges gjerne om «The Bernabeu» og «The Council House» også.
Take me home, United Road,
To the place, where I belong,
To Old Trafford, to see United,
Take me home, United Road.
LOUIS VAN GAAL’S RED ARMY
Samme sang som i sin tid ble sunget om «Ferguson’s Red Army».
Louis van Gaal’s red and white army!
Louis van Gaal’s red and white army!
FROM THE BANKS OF IRWILL
En forenklet versjon av den tradisjonelle River Irwill-sangen.En forenklet versjon av den tradisjonelle River Irwill-sangen.
From the banks of the Irwill to Sicily
And we will fight, fight, fight
For Man. United FC
Ooooooooh, ooooooooh
heeeeeeeey, heeeeeeey
En av de største klassikerne som synges ofte også i dag. Man pleier å holde seg til refrenget nedenfor.
Manchester, Manchester United,
A bunch of bouncing Busby Babes,
They deserve to be knighted!
If ever they are playing in your town,
You must get to that football ground.
Take a lesson come and see,
Football taught by Matt Busby.
WHO THE F*CK ARE MAN. UNITED?
Denne sangen var opprinnelig motstanderfansens stikk til United, men ble etter hvert United-fansens ironiske svar tilbake.
Who the f*ck are Man. United?
Who the f*ck are Man. United?
Who the f*ck are Man. United
as the Reds go marching on on on…
Build a bonfire, build a bonfire,
Put the scousers on the top,
Put Man. City in the middle,
And we’ll burn the f*cking lot.
THE CITY IS YOURS
City-fansen hevder de har flest supportere i Manchester. Veeel…
The city is yours,
The city is yours!
20,000 empty seats,
Are you f*cking sure!?
Som regel bare første vers som synges av denne klassikeren som er fast innslag på spillelista på Old Trafford.
Glory glory Man united,
Glory glory Man united,
Glory glory Man united,
As the reds go marching on on on!Just like the busby babes in days gone by,
We’ll keep the red flags flying high,
Your gonna see us all from far and wide,
Your gonna hear the masses sing with pride.United, Man united,
We’re the boys in red and we’re on our way to Wembley!
Wembley, Wembley,
We’re the famous Man united and we’re going to Wembley,

They’ll be singing que sera sera

DIVERSE SPILLERE
Wayne Rooney
I saw my mate the other day,
He said to me, he’s seen the white Pele,
So I asked, who is he,
He goes by the name of Wayne Rooney!
Wayne Rooney! («Wazza») (repeat)
Ryan Giggs
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, running down the wing,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, running down the wing.
Fear by the blues,
Loved by the reds,
Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs, Ryan Giggs
Adnan Januzaj
I want to tell you,
I might as well do,
About a boy who can do anything.
He comes from Belgium, his name is Adnan,
Januzaj, Januzaj, Januzaj.
Juan Mata
Spanjolen hadde sin egen sang allerede i debuten mot Cardiff City. Her er et annet forslag fra Pete Boyle.
Juan Mata woah-oh,
Juan Mata woah-oh,
He made the rent boys cry,
To play with Januzaj.
Robin van Persie
Oh, Robin van Persie!
Oh, Robin van Persie!
Michael Carrick
Borte mot QPR i 2012/13-sesongen
slo denne plutselig gjennom, etter kun å ha vært en pubsang i flere år.
Oh, oh, oh,
It’s Carrick you know,
It’s hard to believe it’s not Scholes.
Radamel Falcao
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, Radamel Falcaoooooo,
Lo, lo, lo, lo, lo, Radamel Falcaoooooo!

Ole Gunnar Solskjær
You are my Solskjaer,
My Ole Solskjaer,
You make me happy,
When skies are grey,
And Alan Shearer,
Was f*cking dearer,
So Please don’t take,
My Solskjaer,
Away…..
Eric Cantona
En klassiker fra puben Bishop Blaize hvor Pete Boyle er frontperson.
We’ll drink a drink a drink,
To Eric the king the king the king,
He’s the leader of our football team,
He’s the greatest, centre forward,
That the world, has ever seen.
John O’Shea
I mange supporteres øyne er iren en ekte United-legende. Alle er nok uansett enige om at sangen hans er minst like legendarisk.
When Johnny goes marching down the wing,
O’Shea, O’Shea,
When Johnny goes marching down the wing,
O’Shea, O’Shea,
When Johnny goes marching down the wing,
The Stretford Enders will always sing,
We all know that Johnny is gonna score!
Cristiano Ronaldo
Viva Ronaldo, viva Ronaldo,
Running down the wing,
Hear United sing,
Viva Ronaldo.
