"Glory Glory Man United" was a 1983 single released by the Manchester United F.C. squad prior to the 1983 FA Cup Final. It was written by Frank Renshaw, who was a member of Herman's Hermits in the 1970s and 1980s. It was recorded at Strawberry Studios in Stockport with the Football Team and some of Renshaw's friends – Renshaw's son Lee also sang on the recording.
Manchester United fans have been singing this song since the early 1980s. In the 1990s it became popular among opposition supporters to manipulate the words of the song when playing Manchester United to "Who The Fuck Are Man United", which Man United supporters sarcastically sung themselves after scoring, or while winning, against a rival team.
Glory Glory Man United was also the name of the official club poster magazine, launched in 1994 and published every four weeks, totalling 13 issues a year. In 2007 its average reader age was 13 years 2 months.
