History


With Status Quo involved in the recording of the track, it was decided that the band's 1988 single "Burning Bridges" would form the basis of the song, with altered lyrics to suit the Manchester United theme. The single was released on 18 April 1994, four weeks before the 1994 FA Cup Final. By the weekend of the game, the song had reached number one, where it remained for two weeks. It then dropped down the chart, remaining there for a total of 15 weeks.

Opponents Chelsea also released a team song, "No One Can Stop Us Now", which reached number 23.

Come On You Reds — сингл 1994 года, записанный рок-группой «Status Quo» и посвящённый футбольному клубу «Манчестер Юнайтед». Он впервые вошёл в чарт синглов Великобритании 30 апреля 1994 года и оставался там на протяжении 15 недель, а две недели был №1 в чарте[2]. Эта песня является единственным (по состоянию на 2018 год) клубным футбольным синглом, который достиг первой строчки в британском чарте - однако, «Back Home» (в 1970 году), «World in Motion» (в 1990 году), «Three Lions» (в 1996, 1998 и 2018 годах) и «Shout» (в 2010 году) возглавляли национальные чарты[3].
