Why we play 'Country Roads' before kick-off

Our club captain was instrumental in changing the playlist to enhance the atmosphere, as well as the connection between our players and fans.

The 1971 track has been an anthem for Reds supporters across many decades, with these adapted lyrics: “Take me home, United Road, to the place, I belong. To Old Trafford, to see United, take me home, United Road!”

In an unmissable Q&A with season-ticket holders, Bruno is asked about his role in the ensuring the song is being played before the start of matches at the Theatre of Dreams.

“I think it's a song that everyone knows in the dressing room, so it's a popular song for us in the dressing room, and the understanding we had from the outside was that it's one of the most popular songs for the club,” explains Fernandes with typical passion and detail.
