LISTEN: The Old Trafford playlist as Manchester United name their official music partner

Manchester United have a global music partner and it is not Spotify.

Nope, it is Deezer, the 'other' streaming service. The one with the ad featuring the adorable dogs. It of course makes sense for a corporate behemoth like United to sign up a music partner, to along with their paint partner, formal wear partner and the 23 other global partners they currently have. Just a shame the music could not have been added when Louis Van Gaal was still at the club. The man could move and may have drawn inspiration from a thoughtfully compiled playlist being piped into his Carrington office. But top-level football and corporate deal-making are brutal business and the Deezer deal came after the rambunctious Dutchman was replaced by Jose Mourinho, who strikes us as a man who dances as if someone is watching all the time. To celebrate Tuesday's momentous deal, we have put together a playlist for Manchester United. 1. Robert De Niro is Waiting by Bananarama https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhWE0we4FaQ Jose is a big fan, supposedly. 2. The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zLfCnGVeL4 No amount of 1980s pop can prevent Jose's natural demeanour oozing out: "Hello darkness, my old friend". 3. Mr Jones by Counting Crows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oqAU5VxFWs In honour of the resurgent (this week) Phil Jones. Fans of the no-nonsense defender will be glad to hear the song is not about lead singer Adam Duritz's penis, as sometimes claimed. 4. I'll be there for you by The Rembrandts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-9kPks0IfE In honour of David de Gea, a friend to United's defence. 5. Money by Pink Floyd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpbbuaIA3Ds Because Paul Pogba. 6. Thursday's Child by David Bowie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2lC47PQ3Z0 Europa League, innit? 7. Wayne's World Theme Tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Manzr3iuq0&list=PL2Dy75zkW__N5ilvUDDjorS8rTvGrgvtT Because it is Wayne's world and we all have to live in it. 8. I just can't help myself by the Four Tops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXavZYeXEc0 Ask that poor water bottle. 9. My Boo by Alicia Keys and Usher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPgf2meEX1w Marouane Fellaini needs something to drown out the crowd. 10. This is the One by The Stone Roses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l14kECX08NE We would hardly leave it off now, in fairness
