I will never forget my first United game and hearing this sung by 5,000 passionate away fans at a game at Selhurst Park. Mick Hucknall may not exactly be top of the pops at the moment, but his band Simply Red was quite popular back in the day.Ī die-hard Manchester United fan, the pop singer even named his act after the colour of the club's shirt. Manchester that is.įor all the bitterness involved between United and City, why not adopt this recent hit just to rub it in the blue half's face. Why not include a Jay-Z song? After all, the Red Devils do run this town. Which is ironic, because Ryan Giggs hasn't torn defenders apart for a while now.

Sung to the tune of Joy Division's classic 'Love Will Tear You Apart,' this one remains a firm favourite of the Old Trafford faithful. Who put the ball in the German's net? Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, that's who! This one was penned for a certain Norwegian striker. There are many songs dedicated to the Treble-winning side and its specific players. This song, taken from their self-titled album, is often played at Old Trafford before games. The Stone Roses are one of the greatest bands to come out of Manchester. The lyric ' The type of football, second to none, 'cos they're at the top of Division One!' dates it a little though. This one is another vintage from the Manchester United vault. Perhaps including it here is a bit arrogant, but hey, this is Manchester United. I can't remember this song ever being played at Old Trafford, but it certainly encapsulates the greatness of the club.

OK, hands up, I bought this single when it was released in the wake of the 1999 side's Treble-winning season.īut for a track sung by professional footballers, it's not actually that bad. The Munich air disaster in 1958 ripped the core out of what could have been the greatest team ever assembled at that time. This one doubles as 'We Got Our Trophy Back' when the side is successful.Ī more sombre song associated with the tragic fate of the Busby Babes. One has to laugh at Manchester United fans' sense of ownership of the Premier League title that it is 'our trophy.'

One that gets the blood pumping and the juices flowing.
