Manchester United and Adidas Agree to a Ten Year Kit Deal Worth £750m

Manchester United Football Club signed a ten year kit deal with Adidas worth £750m. The famous red shirts will be produced by the German manufacturer starting in the 2015/16 season.

Adidas is taking over the contract from their biggest competitor, Nike, after offering more than double than they were paying. Man Utd and Nike enjoyed a 13 year relationship, worth £303m, a deal which expires at the end of the upcoming season.

The new contract is a record breaker and by a stretch. The second biggest kit deal, between Adidas and Real Madrid, is worth £31m per year.
