As part of their hazing procedure, new recruits at Manchester United are expected to perform an initiation song of their choice in front of the entire first team roster and staff

Although the duration of this custom is unknown, it seems to be rigorously upheld.

Only two of the team’s most recent additions have reportedly been made to serenade their teammates thus far.

During the team’s preseason trip, the microphone was passed to Mason Mount and Andre Onana. But there were assurances that the ceremony would not be restricted to those two.

Rasmus Hojlund, Sofyan Amrabat, Sergio Reguilon, Jonny Evans, and Altay Bayindir were among the other United summer additions who arrived too late to take part in the tradition.

The team’s recent 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich was apparently caused by a lack of good opportunities. This suggests that the custom is only applied to “away-day” games, protecting the ears of Old Trafford employees.

The uninitiated players’ day to shine will arrive, according to sources.

With United’s next trip outside of England taking place on November 8th against Copenhagen FC, the new boys will have just under three weeks to rehearse their performances.

Fittingly, Mount and Onana were made to perform during the American tour’s stop in Las Vegas. The team played at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City against Borussia Dortmund, and they lost 3-2.

The United preseason’s US leg came to a conclusion with the loss. Maybe the performances on the mic were more impressive than those on the field.

The Daily Mail reports that Onana selected to perform Alleluia (Hallelujah) by obscure French-speaking group Les Medecins de Medeline, whereas Mount’s musical preference is still unknown.

We are going to wager a significant amount that Steve McClaren has never heard that specific music before.
