In The M.E.N.:
Many have talked about it, but I hear that New Order's Peter Hook and Salford band Hanky Park are taking the lead in launching a musical protest against Malcolm Glazer's takeover of Manchester United.
Hooky is to produce an anti-Glazer single using the music from one of Hanky Park's tracks, Come On, with new lyrics written by lead singer James Davenport and their manager Ed Blaney.
"Come On is a big anthem song and everyone has been saying that it would be an ideal tune for a football song," James tells me. "Lots of people have talked about recording a protest song or holding an event, but nothing has been done yet.
"The more I have been asked to do this, the more I think that it is wrong what Glazer has done by taking Manchester United from being one of the richest clubs to being £400m in debt. The club has been bought, but it's the fans who have been sold out."
I'm told that the new song will include the old chant: "We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the red flag flying high."
James, whose band also recently recorded a cover version of the Joy Division classic, Love Will Tear Us Apart, with the help of Hooky, says that as well as producing the track the bass-player will also feature on it. There are many other celebrity United fans, including Will Mellor, boxer Jamie Moore and Terry Christian also lining up to be heard on the track.
And James is hoping to get even more familiar faces down to the recording on July 4 and 5.
"We want some Coronation Street United fans to come on board now," he adds.
"There are loads of the cast who support United so it would be great if they would be on the track."
