Didn't know that was the origin. It was probably around before the chant man utd -> man ure is not rocket science Was used in late 40's early 50's according to sources on internet
I dunno - I was told that and a quick search via the internet says that it is also the reason why they don't like being called Man U http://www.sportsgrid.com/uncategorized/referring-to-manchester-united-as-man-u-is-disrespectful/ Kinda makes sense as other teams like Sheffield United are never referred to as Sheff U but bugger do I know.
Clueless Dutch twonk who has lived off a few good seasons with an open cheque book. Or Mr no plan B as he's known in the premiership.
