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.
