man on! - shout during a football match to warn a team-mate that a player of the other team is right behind. Often a call to pass the ball quickly.

This sounds like a bitter M.U. fan that does not like any competition, Man City's ground is owned by Manchester Council, Man. U. is owned by the Glaziers (American) most of their players are not English except dads army's home guard. As for money M.U. are listed as the third richest club. Now we come to what is wrong with English football, it is the constant cheating which is rife throughout the United squad,eg; two dives against Stoke and more than two at Chelsea,without the cheating they would be mid table. You call the stadium the theatre of dreams, theatre is right because of all the play acting that goes on and the luvies that that are a on the pitch.

"Man On" means that a player of the opposing team is going to challenge the player who has control of the football.

It means its time to buckle down. Man on means more get off your butt an play defense. Usually to save energy an fight fatigue not all defense is played at the highest tempo, but when someone yells "man-on!" it means anything less than 100% is no good. Its usually yelled when more defense or extra defense is needed in a situation.
