Manchester United ended 13 years with Nike to agree contract with adidas

              
        

On August 1, no doubt to much fanfare, adidas will release Manchester United’s new kit.

The right to do so has cost the German sportswear giant a staggering £750million over 10 years.

For months it has been the talk of social media. Dozens of mock-ups have been released with fans across the globe whipped into a frenzy over the type of shirts Wayne Rooney and Co will wear this season.
