The Script singer Danny O’Donoghue has reworked the lyrics of one of the band’s hit singles to pay tribute to Manchester United’s FA Cup final hero Kobbie Mainoo.
Mainoo scored Man United’s crucial second goal at Wembley on Saturday, adding to Alejandro Garnacho’s opener against Man City.
The academy graduate’s strike ultimately proved the winner, with Jeremy Doku pulling one goal back for Premier League champions Man City late in the match.
Man United supporter O’Donoghue shared his post on social media after the Red Devils’ victory, with the Irish singer singing a reworked version of The Script hit ‘The Man Who Can’t Be Moved’.
O’Donoghue’s new lyrics were a tribute to Man United’s teenage goalscorers, but also a nod to the uncertainty surrounding manager Erik ten Hag’s future.

The Script singer was seen wearing a Man United tracksuit and saying ‘Come on United’ before singing a revised version of the chorus.
“He is the Mainoo that cannot be moved,” O’Donoghue.
Because it’s the FA Cup and you’re playing against City, and your heart starts to wonder if Ten Hag is going to leave.
‘Then that boy Garnacho will give us the lead.
‘You can hear us all standing in our seats there at Wembley.
‘We don’t move, we don’t move no, no we don’t move no.
“He is the Mainoo that cannot be moved.”
Man United’s victory at Wembley was a perfect end to a difficult season for the club, following their eighth-place finish in the Premier League.
Ten Hag’s team not only secured the FA Cup, but also secured a place in next season’s Europa League thanks to the victory at Wembley.

The Red Devils had their teenage stars Mainoo and Garnacho to thank when the pair got started on Saturday afternoon.
Garnacho got the Red Devils going in the first half, taking advantage of a defensive mix-up between Stefan Ortega and Josip Gvardiol.
Mainoo doubled the lead before half-time and produced a composed finish after a flowing move from Man United.
City rallied late on thanks to Jeremy Doku’s consolation, but United held firm and prevented their rivals from making more history and scoring a double.
