Manchester United fans' Axel Tuanzebe chant lyrics

Axel Tuanzebe has had to wait a while for his chance at Manchester United and, while he's yet to start a Premier League game this season, fans have already taken him to their hearts.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sees Tuanzebe as his third choice centre-back, behind first choice pairing Harry Maguire and Victor Lindelof and he's likely to get more and more game time as this season progresses.

And the United fans debuted as he produced a colossal performance in the 1-0 Europa League win over FC Astana. They continued to chant it even with Tuanzebe on the bench for the following game at West Ham.

Here are the lyrics, to the tune of Manfred Mann's 'Do Wah Diddy Diddy':

"Singing Tuanzebe, diddy-dum, diddy-doo,

 "Tuanzebe, diddy-dum, diddy-do,

"Axel! Axel! Axel! Axel!"

United fans also have a new chant for Mason Greenwood to the tune of David Bowie's 'Star Man' and they also sang "we've only got one Chong" in tribute to fellow youngster Tahith Chong.

Solskjaer's policy of bringing through young players is certainly going down well with supporters, especially those match-going fans who generate the bulk of the noise at Old Trafford and away games.
