Manchester is not United

Zealous Frank 2000 (Nigeria)



This is brutal; a scene undefined
A series of pain beautifully assigned

Watching is not advised; PG-25
Listening is for the strong and baptized

The fans needs help, the stans crave to yelp
There is no turning back, but even moving forward is not advised

We subscribed for a sport but the channels are showing horror movies
Even the ballers are lost and found wanting on the field

This calls for help; Manchester is not United
I'd argue we are a tad better than Kwara United

Pray for us, intercede on our behalf...for we are in pain
Today is four to none, tomorrow might be too much to sum up

This is a general problem; Ten Hag is now One Hag
We desperately hope this doesn't continue for we might be forced to disband.
