It will be interesting to see what happens now this is confirmed. Could be an open chequebook for a year or two, or at least until we're competitive.
So this new kit deal then

Jesus 750m is actually the minimum guarantee, that means that figure will probably be increased if certain clauses are met.
Also dual branded merchandising means that we'll probably look for another sponsor(Uniqlo?) for casual wear. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Especially with a Nike product placement name
I think it's just City now - am v surprised that Nike decided to walk away from this. But they must have had a figure that they did not want to go above - and adi offered the whole farm so fair play to them.

Very much this!.Bring on the retro kitswanna repurchase some of my old favourites.
Exactly! I'm heavily biased towards Nike - and even this deal isn't going to make me start buying an adi anytime soon!

Not sure how this whole thing works, but I'm just wondering what happens the next time a club like RM wants to negotiate their next kit deal? Surely they'll be looking at United's and thinking considering our stature, we can get at least equal to that or slightly less?
Wow, that's a massive deal.
He's the man.Eddie you stud.Fecking hell!
Gotta give him and commercial guys at our club credit.
Adidas will be bankrupt within the next ten years unless they shift a shit load of football merchandise!
This really does put to bed "who the biggest club in world football is". Twice as much a Real Madrid's deal
Think we should go ahead and buy Messi now....

Is that what DUAL BRANDED merchandising mean?
Nike know how much money they make from United, they'll also be aware of the projected growth in America. The numbers didn't add up for them, so they pulled the plug. It's a big gamble by Adidas, the sums are huge!
I think we need to admit that if it wasn't for the Glazers then we wouldnt be getting this kind of deal to begin with. For all the burdens they put on the club at the start they're starting to earn their keep (I know that sounds arrogant, but still).
This is amazing, but can't help but think Adidas are opening Pandora's box in negotiation to other future kit deals as other clubs will be there going 'Manchester United get this, we want this'.
Its says a 'minimum' of 750 million. That's absolutely amazing
They only renewed it two years ago
They have Revenue streams numbering in the 10's of Billions, No way will any potential future deals bankrupt them, not even close.
Wow!
Hopefully some of that money goes towards increasing the capacity, that's the next step for the club

Holy feck. Minimum...
Absolutely. I'd expect Real Madrid and Bayern to get bigger deals, and rightly so.
I wasn't being serious. It's a huge commitment though if the likes of Madrid, Bayern etc want parity.
Spend spend spend!
I've had enough phone calls for them flogging tickets as it is. Don't think that would be on the cards.
Nothing to spend yet surely? The deal doesn't come in till next summer.
It just means that they're contractually obligated to pay that amount and can't pay less. Doesn't mean that they will pay more, unfortunately.

The Chevrolet deal kicked in last year, I think. Plus we charged them a few million just for the pleasure of doing the deal.
I understand Madrid maybe but why would you expect Munich to get a bigger deal? Globally we are bigger than Bayern and in turn Adidas will profit from us more than they would be them.
Make a new thread now as it's official now.
Or just change the title?

Congrats to Woodward and co. Really good fecking business this.
We're doing things in the right way - ever since Moyes was sacked, it's just good news after good news.
