Latest Man Utd players’ humiliation
Feeling ashamed
Adidas, the world’s largest sportswear company, was forced to respond after players allegedly complained about their match outfits, further embarrassing Manchester United.
At yet another error involving the Old Trafford club, Manchester United players are now required to wear apparel that is available at the club shop.
According to reports, some players have resorted to cutting holes in their match socks because they are too tight around their calves. According to the Daily Mail, some fans have been sporting duplicate socks since the season’s second game.
Goalie Andre Onana has also experienced issues with his jersey. It is said that he changed to a looser replica top because he found the match jersey too snug. Following United’s 2-1 victory over lowly Sheffield United last month, Onana allegedly made the adjustment.

Adidas, a major player in apparel, and United extended their jersey sponsorship agreement just last summer. Over ten seasons, United will get a guaranteed £90 million annually from the almost £1 billion contract. As a result, news of issues with the kit upset United and the German manufacturer, who has been making club clothing for the past eight years, greatly.
“The relationship between Manchester United and Adidas is one of the most iconic in world sport, forged through a shared commitment to style, flair, and, most importantly, high performance,” Red Devils CEO Richard Arnold said at the time of the deal’s announcement.
