Because for the same amount of money you could get a much better player.

M'villa looks like hes going to Inter for 6.4 million is a good example.

Rumblings on twitter of Nike walking away from the deal with Utd.

Too expensive / aggressive dealings

I wouldn't have a problem with trading Young and Cleverley for McCarthy. The way I see it: neither of those two are going to get into the first eleven, where as McCarthy could. And we get two heavy earners off the books.
But we should only pursue McCarthy if our main targets fail. Personally I don't think he's even on the radar. Vidal, Strootman, DeJong, Carvalho, Turan are the types of player the club should be focused on - and I'm quite convinced they are.

Reports saying Adidas have won the kit deal fee £58m a season. That's almost twice Madrids deal.

Sources confirm that Nike has informed Manchester United it will not match adidas for future kit rights. Deal worth $100M+/year.

Tweets in there from BBC Mike Keegan talking about why Nike have pulled out.

So is that like £110m between Adidas and Chevrolet.?

Lovely. We might finally get a decent jersey while the club still makes a shedload of money

We still have Chevy as our sponsor.

Well, it's been talked about for a number of months, that the figure with both deals would be in excess of £100m per year. One of my liverpool supporting colleagues was recently explaining why United are broke and finished as a top side (this was before the Gerrard slip), I then told him what those two deals were worth, and he went a funny shade of green.

redbaron_99

It's looking like Evra might well be off to Juve on a two year deal. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me. We'd need back-up for Shaw!

dubmick

So the new jersey is only for one year, that is not going to do much for sales

Nope. He's English and came through the academy he's worth more to us than £6M.

True. For 6m he's a bargain. He's taken a lot of stick but under the right manager could, maybe should realise his potential.

The last 6 home kits have all only been for 1 season.

thelad95

Are there any teams who don't change their kit every year now...?

I'd like to see Blind come in if Evra goes, really good option across a few positions.

I think changing to Adidas can only be good, I haven't really liked any of the Nike Jerseys apart from the white & red away shirt, I've always thought Chelsea's jerseys have been nice

Lol brilliant that I didn't notice that. Long time since I bought a jersey.

Getting rid of Evra and say Cleverley would be good business if we got in Blind.

I believe in ED!!!

Great to hear Adidas coming on board as potential kit makers. They tend to make much nicer gear from shirts to track tops etc.

Another positive is that the deal is supposedly astronomical in terms of figures (rumoured 750m over 10 years) so that should give us a nice warchest (including the Chevrolet deal) for the next few seasons ahead of other sides who have recently signed their deals. Arsenal's deal is roughly 30m per year and Liverpool's 50m a year.

Rumours doing the rounds that Heinz and Dyson might come aboard as official ketchup and vacuum cleaner sponsors respectively. Exciting times indeed! :pac:

Slow down lads.

While it has been confirmed Nike are gone, no confirmation that Adidas have made the deal official.

I'd buy a jersey just in case we get Warrior

Im only quoting what I'm reading. Dont shoot the messenger.

"Real Madrid winger Angel Di Maria could be on his way to the Premier League after the Spanish giants accepted a £47.7m offer from Man Utd according to Spanish media outlet AS."

According to that article.

EDIT: If this one turns out to be a hoax I will eat a sh*t sandwich of my own making tonight, as penance.
