There are several ways of referring to the club that runs Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester United. United to dry. Man Utd, if you prefer short. Or even Red Devils. There is another very widespread among supporters and media. Call "ManU" to Manchester United. A term that many journalists, some others not so much media, it repeated without the slightest suspicion. Even some supporters, too young or just uninformed. But not all. Many others are sick of hearing the "ManU" is in the Champions League final against Barca . "ManU" win the Premier League and phrases of the style.
What you will have ever read. Indeed. Sure I shall return to read more than once or twice. Especially now that Manchester, with the club, get all the attention for the match at Wembley. Just a couple of weeks I made the same disregard for those fans upset to hear and read the same . Unwittingly or unknowingly missed the memory of an institution I admire. For his way of doing things and the geniuses who have defended the ball. Thanks to a reader comment I noticed something I was unaware, like so many other reports speak of United. This post is intended to clarify a dark episode, very unpleasant, in the history of Old Trafford. Why much of the fans feel the team that is not sympathetic "ManU" but the Manchester United. This is the story of Duncan Edwards and the tragedy of Munich .
In 1958, United flew to Yugoslavia to England. On the plane carrying the legendary Busby Babes . The squad of young talent who trained the great Matt Busby , with Duncan Edwards as a star player. There was also Bobby Charlton , who by then was 19. Sir Bobby survived the crash and led reconstruction of that school sport decimated by fate. They lost 7 players and members of technical staff, as well as journalists and ordinary passengers. Duncan Edwards, who was hospitalized after the crash, died 15 days later. It was the crack of a promising template that sought to oust the European throne at Madrid of Di Stefano, Kopa and Gento. In his country, recalls him as a prodigy "incomparable." He was called to enter the Olympus of the eternal. Charlton himself, he did champion the United European Cup and World Cup to England , said Edwards was the best. "I never met someone so gifted and so strong technically. Duncan had a presence outshone us all. "
The memory of Duncan remains in the glory of United and the hatred of his rivals. Unfortunately. Edwards is present in the macabre chanting anti Man Utd hooligans. "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in His grave. Man You are manure-rotting in your grave. " The Castilian translation of the unprintable, it would be something like this. "Duncan Edwards is manure, rotting in his grave. Man, you are manure, rotting in your grave. " So reads the blasphemy that led to the offensive "ManU" is now used as an abbreviation. Broadcasters, sports newspapers and football fans unwittingly contribute to normalize this aberration. Notein the letter it says "You are Man manure." Here you play with double meanings. First, the literal meaning. "Man" in reference to man, Edwards. Second, the intention phonetics. "Man you ..." which is pronounced "maniu" like "ManU. Then the "Man You are manure" is a horrible insult to Duncan and Manchester. That is the reason that condisera disrespectful. Also serious.
The origin of the ditty is attributed to the ultras of West Brom. But Liverpool and Leeds were quick to compose their own variations on the tragedy of Munich. To which most cruel. "ManU ManU Went on a plane, ManU ManU Never Came back again." The word "ManU" is entrenched in this kind of grim jokes that some mindless chanting and chanting. I mentioned these 3 teams but there are mindless everywhere and all colors. Through these rhymes the term has been perpetuated as something trivial. Of offensive speech, intentional, has spent the abbreviation ambiguous. Sometimes for convenience because it is shorter. Sometimes as a synonym for not burdening the speech of Manchester United, United, Red Devils and others. Hence the anger of some fans when they hear "ManU goal and derivatives.
I was one of these reporters, editors, journalists, amateur has ever referred to Manchester as "Manu". So I thank our reader Darthvaldi . His criticism encouraged my curiosity about something that had no record. I have found no official information about it and I would argue that there is not. All matters relating to the origin of "ManU" I found it on blogs of United fans in the forum of the club's website and protest groups in social networks . There are youtube videos that prove these outrageous mockery. You can investigate yourself and discover more. I recognize that things are not treated nice. But I found it interesting to shed some light on a subject that is perhaps not widely known. Unfortunately the game has a dark side. Occasionally we have to look to learn.
