![]() It has also seen several adaptations, with the most popular being from The Red Army. It is pretty nice that players of the club were involved in it's making. However instead of recording it alone, he invited his friends, his son, and the entire Manchester United Football Team who were preparing for the 1983 Fa Cup Final, all of whom contributed in the song's impressive baritone. According to facts, English Musician Frank Henshaw, from Herman's Hermits, wrote the song. The official recorded version however, has quite a brilliant back story. However it seems Manchester United are not the only ones that had the idea as Leeds United, Tottenham and South Sydney had the same idea. By replacing the hallelujah with Man United, it quickly became a club favorite. The song was twisted to suit the club as the original melody was taken from a chant in the American Civil War which said Glory Glory hallelujah. However, it's extremely catchy chorus that just says Glory, Glory, Man United has proven to veey effective. Manchester United's Anthem doesn't really have much going for it in terms of melody. However not many people know how these songs were made or who made them. There is nothing more chilling and hair raising in a stadium's atmosphere than people in their tens of thousands, belting out the club's anthem, with the same passion and pride as if it was a national anthem.
