Why We Don't Refer To Our Awesome Club As 'ManU'

Some of you should know this and might have come across it on facebook where I posted it some years back. Though, I moved on, I saw a need to revisit it as most Manchester United Fans still call the club 'Man U' which is not meant to be, hence a need to repost it on here for a wilder audience and not just 'my facebook friends'.

Have you ever wonder why the Press and more particularly, the international press and the Barclays Premier League officials never and will never refer to Manchester United as 'Man U' but 'Man UTD'? worry no further, here's the explanation you've been waiting for.

ManU is not a term United fans refer to themselves as.
The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.
An early example of its usage is this chant by West Brom fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave".
The origin of "ManU" is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.

Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.

"ManU ManU went on a plane ManU ManU never came back again"

and..

"ManU Never Intended Coming Home"
(if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "munich").


I hope this makes it clearer that saying 'manU' is an insult, particularly to the older supporters and to see United fans using it now is shameful.

I hope a few might read this, understand and spread the word.
So... Please REFRAIN from using this term ever again!!!!!!!!
