Is this Cantona authentic? I received it via a friend for xmas a few years back. I am not sure of the source?
Man * is not a term United fans refer to themselves as. The term is only used by other supporters as a complete and utter insult to our club. The "u" is meant to be "you" by the rival fans.
An early example was from WBA fans: "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave, man you are manure- rotting in your grave". The origin of "Man Utd" is a song to insult the dead Duncan Edwards.
Liverpool and Leeds fans copied this with their own man you /u versions to insult all of the lads who died at munich.
"Man * Man * went on a plane Man * Man * never came back again"
and..
"Man * Never Intended Coming Home" (if you combine the first letter of each word you get the word "munich").
So... Please REFRAIN from using this term ever again!!!!!!!!
