Although now it seems as though Ferguson has got his way, with this cheesy country and western song blaring out of the speakers before kick off every week. It was no lot ago that Ferguson was dead keen on getting an “anthem” introduced to Old Trafford, and had his heart set on “The Impossible Dream.” This never caught on, with the idea of forcing an anthem, or creating an anthem, entirely unpopular with the United crowd. “One more time, Old Trafford,” and launched in the chorus again.

“Come on y’all,” he said, clapping his hands above his head in time to the music. As the massive flag travelled across the Stretford End, organised by SEF, showing the picture of Giggs and Neville lifting the trophy, the song was deafening. We got the American to come in and sing it live before the United vs Chelsea game, and it left me cringing. However, now the track is being played at the beginning of every game, and it stinks of desperation. It’s good for getting the Old Trafford crowd going, I suppose, and on the last day of the season, it was sung loudly. “Take me home United road” has become a popular song at Old Trafford over years gone by, so much so, someone had the bright idea of letting an American sing it over a cheesy country and western nineties sounding track, resembling the original “Country Roads” by John Denver.
