Manchester United are famed for bringing through young players into the first team squad – and it seems their support of local talent does not stop with the players.

Manchester bands dominate the matchday playlist for Sunday’s clash with QPR as The Stone Roses, The Smiths, The Courteeners and The Charlatans all feature.

There is, however, no room for one of one of Manchester’s biggest bands, Oasis, most likely due to the Gallagher brothers support of rivals Manchester City.

Fool’s Gold by The Stone Roses the first of the Manchester bands to be played. And diehard reds lead singer Ian Brown and bassist Mani will be pleased to hear one of their most famous songs being played at the Theatre of Dreams.

Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before by The Smiths will be aired as eighth on the playlist.

United have yet to win this season, but having splashed out on over £150million of talent in the transfer window on the likes of Radamel Falcao, Angel di Maria and Daley Blind, Louis van Gaal will hope to pick up his first three points of the season against QPR.
