There are few footballers that Manchester United supporters enjoy taking the p*** out of more than Liverpool’s favourite son, Steven Gerrard.
John Terry is perhaps one of them and, erm, nope that’s probably it.
However, it’s only usually during fixtures between United and Liverpool when you hear the Old Trafford faithful signing their own version of the Gerrard chant.
For those unaware, it goes like this: “Steve Gerrard, Gerrard. He slipped on his f*cking a*se. He gave it to Demba Ba. Steve Gerrard, Gerrard.”
The chant is, of course, a parody version of the Liverpool fans’ famous Gerrard chant and a reference to the infamous Premier League clash between the Reds and Chelsea, then managed by Jose Mourinho, at Anfield in April 2014.
GERRARD SLIPPED…
Gerrard slipped over and inadvertently gave the ball to Ba, who went on to score.
Chelsea won the match 2-0 and Liverpool, to the immense disappointment of everyone associated with the club, fell at the final hurdle.
Liverpool fans, needless to say, aren’t big fans of United’s Gerrard’s chant and they were outraged after hearing it sang during the EFL Cup semi-final first leg clash between the Red Devils and Hull City on Tuesday night.

Can’t blame them for singing about Gerrard every weekend. If your club is as boring as United nowadays, I can understand.

The United supporters were fairly quiet at Old Trafford against Hull and, after the match, Mourinho admitted he wants to hear more noise against Liverpool this weekend.
