Why we dont use the term "Manu"

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!!!!!

Here comes Valencia

Manchester United have made their first signing of the summer after confirming a16m(approx) deal with Luis Antonio Valencia!! The 23 year old have signed a four year contract.

And, while it is not expected Valencia will represent the end of Ferguson's spending, the United boss is already tipping the South American to make a big impact.

"Antonio is a player we have admired for some time now, having spent the last two years in the Premier League with Wigan," he said.

"I am sure his pace and ability will make a significant contribution to the team."

Valencia's arrival ensures that Rooney will not be given central role.

"Joining Manchester United is a dream come true for me," he said.

"I have enjoyed my time at Wigan but I am thrilled to have the chance to challenge for the biggest honours in club football here.

"Playing in front of 76,000 fans alongside players like Wayne Rooney, Rio Ferdinand and Ryan Giggs will be an amazing experience.

"I can't wait to get started."

The Ecuadorian will get his first opportunity on a four-match tour of Asia next month, before the Red Devils head for a four-team tournament in Munich.

"I hope the fans at Wigan can understand that I am an ambitious guy and a chance like this might never come again for me," said Valencia, who will be 24 next month.

"I am happy that the club has benefited from the move financially because I owe them such a lot. I have had a great time here."

See Ya CR7 :(

It is confirmed! World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo has joined Real Madrid for £80 million !!!

Ronaldo will join Real Madrid after United accepted a world record £80m ($163m) offer for their best player, and will earn £107 million ($A215 million) over six years according to newspaper reports in England. The deal involves a salary increasing each season, reportedly starting at a mere £183,000 a week before eventually rising to £556,000 a week.

That will mean Ronaldo will earn 33 times the average salary of the average Spaniard..


Wow.. Thats huge money.. Isn't it??

Even in this recession time I couldn't believe Real Madrid's spending spree!!

Madrid had already grabbed the headlines by signing fellow former World Player of the Year Kaka from AC Milan, for a $A114.5 million transfer fee.

So itz tym 4 United supporters to send off CR7 from Manchester..

Bye Bye Ron..
