MANCHESTER UNITED have extended their partnership with Adidas until 2035 after agreeing a £900million deal.

The Red Devils have been kitted out by the German manufacturer since 2015, after they outbid previous suppliers Nike.

United will receive a minimum cash guarantee of £900m over the decade extension, an upgrade on the then-record £750m sum agreed in 2014.

Red Devils fans have been critical of their kits in recent years, with this season’s black, red and white away strip described as “atrocious” on social media.

So amid the news that Adidas will keep on supplying United’s kits until 2035, many supporters were not best pleased.

One tweeted: “Another 12 years of terrible kits then. Create some retro adidas originals kits at least.”

While a second wrote: “Wow I hate adidas too. Get Nike back.”

A third fan blasted: “With those ugly jerseys.”

And another added: “More sh*** kits then !”

United’s current deal with Adidas links annual payments to whether they have qualified for the Champions League.

According to Reuters, United’s annual payment from Adidas decreases by 30 per cent of the “applicable amount” if they fail to qualify for Europe’s premier competition for two or more seasons on the bounce.

United debuted their controversial new away kit during their recent US tour.

One fan wrote of it: “Never taking that even for free. Worst kit ever.”

While a second fumed: “Absolutely horrendous.”
