Chants and songs sung by the people at the stadium makes a game more electrifying. In England, Manchester United, Liverpool and almost every other team has loads of chants that are passionate, funny and at times arrogant.
So, here is a look at five best chants that the Old Trafford faithfuls sing during games. I will follow up the next five in a different article (You know, there are so many to choose from! )
5. Viva John Terry
This one is targeted at John Terry who slipped and missed the chance to win the Champions League for Chelsea at Moscow in 2008. As a result, United won the title and their fans are faithful to Terry for doing so. So, they came up with this song.
Viva John terryViva John terryOne kick of the balland they won f**k allViva John terry
Viva John terryViva John terrySlipped of the pitchlike a little bi*chViva John terry…

3. The Pride of all Europe
This one is legendary! The lyrics will tell you much more than the words ever could.
We are just one of those teams that you see now and then,We often score six, but we seldom score ten,We beat ‘em at home and we beat ‘em away,We kill any b***ards,That get in our way,
We are the pride of all Europe,The cock of the North,We hate the Scousers, the Cockneys of course (and Leeds),We are United, without any doubt,We are the Manchester boys…

I know that it is a cliche and there are many other chants but this is possibly the one that Mancs sing at every game. So, here goes
Glory, glory, Man United,Glory, glory, Man United,Glory, glory, Man United,And the reds go marching on, on, on.Just like the Busby Babes in Days gone byWe’ll keep the Red Flags flying highYou’ve got to see yourself from far and wideYou’ve got to hear the masses sing with prideUnited!

2. We’ll never die! Keep the red flags flying high!
You probably hear only the last verses of this song all the time. So, here’s the full lyric.
United’s flag is deepest red,It shrouded all our Munich dead,Before their limbs grew stiff and cold,Their heart’s blood dyed it’s every fold.
Then raise United’s banner high,Beneath it’s shade we’ll live and die,So keep the faith and never fear,
We’ll keep the Red Flag flying here.
We’ll never die, we’ll never die,We’ll never die, we’ll never die,We’ll keep the Red flag flying high,Cos Man United will never die…
