New Delhi: Newcastle United quite literally destruyed Manchester United 4-1 on Sunday but the Manchester United team, which was ranked high in the Leazes End’s first division, made the most noise. The majority of the 3,000 travelling supporters stayed and chanted a terrace hit that has gained popularity among fans in recent months, but many of them left St. James’ Park before the game ended to start another dismal journey home.
The United rendition is set to the Welsh singer Bonnie Tyler’s song “It’s a Heartache.” “Ruben Amorim, he’ll bring the glory days again. We’ll back him from the Stretford End, he’ll turn the Reds around,” is what the fans were singing. The anguish of falling in love with someone who doesn’t reciprocate is conveyed in the original lyrics. Thus, the heartache is a pointless game. With just six league victories in 21 games under his leadership, United supporters are hoping that won’t be the case.

Ruben Amorim’s unwanted records
Following yet another humiliating loss to Newcastle on the road on Sunday afternoon, Manchester United is once again nursing their wounds. Ruben Amorim’s side are now three points ahead of 17th place, despite the fact that captain Bruno Fernandes claimed the team shown “personality” despite losing 4-1 at St. James’ Park.
There is also no time for United to be sorry for themselves, as they play Lyon in the second leg of their evenly matched Europa League quarterfinal on Thursday night. A European victory might give the team a path to the Champions League and increase funds for Amorim to bolster their team come summertime.
The Manchester United team, led by Ruben Amorim, will formally record their lowest performance in Premier League history. Due to the loss at Newcastle, they are no longer able to get to the previous all-time low of 58 points. They would score 56 points, the fewest they have in over 30 years, even if they had a fantastic season finale. For all the wrong reasons, it has long appeared like United will surpass their eighth-place finish from the previous season, and they have established a number of undesirable milestones this season.
Why are the fans singing this song?
It’s a Heartache was a worldwide smash when it was released in 1977. Although Bonnie Tyler has had lunch with Sir Alex Ferguson on multiple occasions, she is not a United supporter. However, Matt, who has been playing guitar in Tyler’s band for the past 27 years, is a devoted Red. They are pleased that the song is coming from the stands, but why were the supporters cheering so loudly and with pride when their club was losing 4-1 in their 14th Premier League loss of the year?
At Manchester United, there is a great tendency among match-goers to sing for their managers, but at other clubs, the managers would be attacked rather than praised. This has been much appreciated by every United manager since Ferguson, but Sunday’s singing sparked internet discussion among many who wonder if the team’s poor performance warranted the support. Amorim has strong support during games. Part disobedience in the face of disappointment, part expectation that supporters should do exactly that—support—because you’re not much of a supporter if you can’t do that when things get tough.
Harry, 24, who went from Manchester and watched Newcastle defeat Manchester United in the league for the first time since 1930–31, stated, “I go to games to support the team, whatever the result.”
“That might not mean singing about players while we’re 4-1 down, but you support your club for two reasons.”
How are the fans backing Ruben Amorim?
Despite that loss against Newcastle, Ruben Amorim was still getting backed by the fans and Harry framed it perfectly for the ones who are constantly trying to get on Amorim’s back.
“We know good managers have come here and failed. We see the rest of the world trying to get them down, see journalists smarming that they’ve helped get them sacked, and there’s one group of people who should back them through thick and thin, and that’s supporters. Supporters, not customers, is the key.”
Another fan who stayed until the very end and gave the song his best was James Mawdsley, a 21-year-old season ticket holder who has only missed the away games against Crystal Palace and Viktoria Plzen all season.
“My coach home wasn’t going to leave until well after the final whistle, so there was no point leaving early, but the players and manager need the support from fans more than ever right now,” he said. “I don’t like the divide in the fans and think we should all back the manager, but I also really like the new Amorim song.
Manchester United fans have created a defiant new chant in support of incoming manager Ruben Amorim, declaring their belief that he will lead the club back to its former glory. Football Sports News: Latest Cricket News, Cricket Live Score, Sports Breaking News from Sports Today
