I flew all the way from Chicago with my Dad to watch a Man U match (my first ever) last year. It was amazing, a total different experience in the stadium than it is watching it on TV.

So, as the chants usually go, it starts out of nowhere and everyone joins in.
Now, this song, I remember this song from Sunday school...it goes something like "Glory, glory hallelujah, the king is marching on". Then all of a sudden I had a chance to hear what was actually being said:

"Glory, Glory Man United"

It was a moment of shock and surprise, but it's one of my best memories ever

I've never really been into football but recently because of college I've been playing a lot of FIFA and meeting others who keep introducing me to the world of English football here in Madison.
I hear Manchester United has a lot of history so I figure I'd butt heads with my roommates and support a club other than Liverpool and Arsenal.
Relatively new fan, even newer to English football so I'm still trying to wrap my head about the offside rule and all, especially club play styles and rivalries. Looking to learn about a new sport since we in the states don't learn much in particular about English football.
On another note, while browsing this forum I just found out that I should NOT refer to Manchester United as Man U. A good learning experience.

Hi everyone!
My name is Wendy! windywildwendy, lol.
Windy because I'm from Chicago which is very windy (it really is a windy city!!!).
I'm crazy fun, so my friends call me wild!
And Wendy because that's my name!
I have been a Man Utd fan for years (ever since David Beckham was there, lol).
So happy I get to be a part of this forum.
Don't think because I'm an American girl that I don't know about English football, I know a few things that may surprise you.
But, I'm still willing to learn more about my favorite team!

Glory, glory Man Utd

Hello everyone, I live in South Africa and recently joined this forums, glad to see I've found an active forum

Good day, Red Devils.

We have some news regarding the club's debt costs. I'll be quoting only the important segments in article. Should you want to read the full article, here is the source.

Quote:Manchester United has struck a new loan deal to cut the amount of interest it pays on its huge debts.

Quote:The Premier League club, which is owned by the Glazer family, has refinanced £178m of outstanding debt, a move that should save it £10m a year.

Quote:It still has about £307m in debts, but has continued to enjoy on-field success under the Glazers, with five Premier League titles and one Champions League victory.

Quote:Its finances continue to be bolstered by TV revenues. In the 2012-13 season, it is reported to have made more than £60m - more than any other club.

Quote:Last year, the club paid about £50m in interest alone.

Quote:David Bick, chairman of Square1 consulting, told Radio 5 live that the deal meant Manchester United would now be paying off their debts "on more reasonable terms".

He said the club still had "a long way to go" in paying off its debts, but said the Glazers appeared to have made the most of the club's global presence, which has drawn revenue in from places such as East Asia.

"It's a massive global brand, they have extracted commercial income from all corners of the globe," he said.
