Sportswear giant Adidas has signed a £750m deal to make Manchester United's kit for 10 years from next season.

It comes after US rival Nike decided to end its association at the end of the 2014-15 season.

Nike has been paying United £23.5m a year, and the new deal is worth a world record-breaking £75m ($128m) a season to the Old Trafford club.

Champions League winner Real Madrid's £31m-a-year deal with Adidas was previously the biggest club deal.

Adidas will provide training and playing kit to all the club's teams and will have the exclusive right to distribute dual-branded merchandising products worldwide.

The huge sum involved is only £40m less than the Glazer family paid for the club in 2005.

That doesn't make any sense... why would Adidas pay so much more?  Thats 320% increase...  Now Manchester United got extra  £75m in transfer fees every season.  I honestly think FIFA should open an investigation, you got a faul play written all over this deal just like Manchester City and  £400m Etihad deal. 

 

Manchester United started to slide.  Multiple sponsors dropped them and players do not want to join them and out of the blue they announcing this crazy deal that will make Manchester United stay copetitive in EPL for at least another 10 years.

 

That is so unfair to teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, and Newcastle.

Apparently, Real gets £25m and Barca about the same.

Arsenal signed new record deal with Puma last year worth £34m a year.

Good thing Puma is only 5 year deal. 4 years left. Arsenal will ask for £75m a year in 4 years.

Can't wait until jerseys cost $350.

They are 3rd. Real Madrid and Barcelona are 1 and 2.

Someone injected heavy finances into ManU through Adidas. ManU was about to become new Leeds United but someone have a lot of stake to let it happen.

I can't believe Adidas would agree to pay that. I mean, it's over 1 billion USD over 10 years. Something doesn't smell right.

That's what I said. A clear faul play. Someone is trying to save Manchester United from collapse.

Look at what Manchester fans are saying..."We got money, now players will join us"

Now Adidas has put themselves in an interesting position. Real Madrid and Bayern are going to want substantially more than they are currently receiving.

Real got 7 more years before new contract...  Adidas just opened a flood gate.  So glad Arsenal signed only 5 year deal.  Chelsea got screwed, they signed 300m 10 year deal last year.

So Adidas expects 1.5% of their total anual sales to be Manchester United products... Such a horseshit.  I have a feeling Glazers will put a club up for sale. This Adidas deal completely pays off Glazers debt and is now lucrative to potential buyers.  I think Glazers borrowed money, gave it to Adidas to sign that deal.  Now Manchester United looks very lucrative and projected to yelled good returns for next 10 years. They will sale it for way more than a club that looks like it about to collapse and cannot attract good players.

      https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48344034/nfl-begin-hiring-replacement-officials-given-state-negotiations-nfl-referees-association   Honestly fug these refs and their union. Resisting changes that would actually incentivize good performance and not seniority based systems. What a bunch of donkeys. Hope the replacements straight up take their jobs and never give them back. Sick of watching refs script games with no repercussions.

      Donovan seems like highest risk to me. Lloyd and May have already established relationships with all these kids. There’s probably guys hitting the portal that they recruited from HS. And then there’s the possibility of transferring their own guys from their current teams. They’ve also been recruiting the HS kids for like the next 5 years already. Look at the Iowa coach who hit the ground running by transferring all his guys from his D2 program. Or going across sports to Cignetti transferring all his JMU guys year one then building off that to a national title year 2. Donovan is starting from square one having been in the NBA so long and he’s already 60. So you’re potentially punting year 1 for a guy you are just hoping to be a 10 year hire while you figure out how to actually develop your next home grown 20yr guy. That’s 1/10th of the time you have him, more or less at best. The hope would be that he would find some high level assistants who have been working the college recruiting trails already, but then are you giving up his ideal staff just to get a foothold in recruiting and transfers. Think Belichick year one was bad? Imagine how much worse it would be without Steve Belichicks transfer portal pulls. Hoping Mays or Lloyd are all they’re cracked up to be.
