Manchester United or MUFC: But Never "Man U"
AASHISH SALOTRA
JULY 11, 2009
Hello everyone. As I was yet to decide about writing my second post for this profile of mine, i had to think (quite obvious) from where about United should I start.

While I was flirting with various posts written by Manchester United fans, I noticed them referring our very own beloved club as "Man U". Well, for all of you who don't know, it must be told that calling Manchester United as Man U is a insult to the club.

Though, we must agree that no United fan in their right mind would use 'Man U' as an insulting disrespectful term, it needs to be understood the history related to this term and why it need not be called so.

The term 'Man U' first came into existence with insult from West Brom fans who chanted this about a great United Legend, Duncan Edwards (one of the Busby Babes) as they said, "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure—rotting in your grave."

Secondly, it was the turn of our rivals, Liverpool and Leeds United fans, who made fun of the Busby Babes that crashed while they were coming home from Munich and eight amongst them died in the Munich Air Crash.

They made their own versions of the chant, and chanting "Man U Man U went on a plane Man U Man U never came back again" and "Man U Never Intended Coming Home". On combining the first letter of latter chant, we can clearly see, it comes out to be "MUNICH".

I guess, it needs to be read about the club and thus, not every fan who uses this term knows this. We, as MUFC fans must know about this fact and refrain ourselves from calling our beloved club as 'MAN U'.

It's 'Manchester United' or "MUFC" or "United" or "Man. United".

Manchester United as expected:

🚨 The Qatari investors want the Manchester United takeover to be done as quickly as possible so they can inject massive funds to help Erik ten Hag immediately.

(Source: Daily Mail Sport)

✅ Qatari investors want to arm manager Erik ten Hag with a vast WAR CHEST in order to take United back to the top of world football, which is where they feel the club belongs. Qatari investors are already making plans for what should happen if they are successful. The aim is to make a substantial investment which would allow Ten Hag, under whom United are resurgent, to further strengthen his squad []

🗞️📰A cost of 8bn for Manchester United and redeveloping Old Trafford/ building a new state of the art facility would not be a problem for the Qatari group []
