Fans say 'the King doesn't deserve this' after hearing LA Galaxy supporters' cheesy chant for Billy Sharp

FANS online have been appalled by the cheesy chant LA Galaxy fans have come up with for Billy Sharp.

Sheffield United legend Sharp has taken to life at Galaxy exceptionally since swapping Yorkshire for the States, scoring two goals in his opening four matches despite playing just 88 minutes in total.

LA Galaxy fans have clearly taken the 37-year-old into their hearts already but their chant for him has left British supporters less than impressed.

A video taken after LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw with St Louis showed Sharp going over to a pocket of Galaxy fans named the "LA Riot Squad", who serenaded him to the tune of Baby Shark.

For those fortunate enough not to remember the tune, Baby Shark was a children's song that went viral in 2016.

Sharp then posed with the fans of David Beckham's old club as he fulfilled some club media duties.

It didn't take long for the clip to go viral, with one fan on Twitter saying: "The King doesn't deserve this."

Another wrote: "Americans never fail to surprise you."

A third chimed in with: "Why are American chants so cringe?"

While a fourth wrote: "This is as American as it gets."

Sharp certainly appears to have found a home away from home at Galaxy, having spent the majority of his career at Sheffield United.

The Sheffield-born star played a total of 377 times for the Blades and captained the club up until his departure this summer.

His 82nd minute equaliser for Galaxy against St Louis no doubt continued to endear him to his new supporters - despite their chants failing to impress English supporters online.
