The former Vodafone Big Top 40 number one is apparently a huge hit with the Premier League stars.

PSY's smash hit single 'Gangnam Style' has reportedly become a huge hit with the stars of Manchester United, who perform the famous dance from the music video before their big games.

The Premier League outfit were tipped off about the track by former South Korean team-mate Ji-Sung Park, and it has now become a staple tradition with the footballing stars.

"It's become a running joke to do the dance from the video in the dressing rooms before training and before games," a source told the Daily star. "It originally started with QPR's Ji-Sung Park, who's also South Korean."

"He tipped off his pals Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand about the track. Now all the lads are into it."

The Wanted and Britney Spears are among the stars whose renditions of the dance have also become internet sensations.

Meanwhile, Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney was also recently rumoured to be enlisting the help of One Direction for his son Kai's third birthday party next month.
