Couldn't find a good source on this

I might try to do that most ambitious crossover of all time meme here, but I'd probably get it wrong somehow. The news is genuinely astonishing, though, as teetering football titans Manchester United have revealed a deal to license their stuff out to enable Lego to create official Man Utd merchandise of some sort.

The statement from the club doesn't say what we can expect, though, or reveal if fans might soon see a full team sheet of minifigures to feel through the wrapping and collect, a £170 Old Trafford, or perhaps it's the other way round and Lego is launching a football team in Denmark and wants to borrow a few players on loan for a bit.

Here's what we have to go on, released in a statement from the football club: "Our partnership with Lego is a licensing agreement. More information on the partnership and some exciting new products will be released in the new year."

Could just be a Ninjago Eric Cantona action diorama, complete with young face and angry bearded philosopher late-period face. Sorry, that's the most up to date football reference I have.
Who's gonna order a Lego Old Trafford set?

They might as well use them to fix our roof.

Gorillatape should recognize it's visiting hours and call the OT brass and offer them to fix the roofleaks with tape, and pay the club for the privilege. Everyone wins.

Manchester United build ties with Lego

Details of new partnership set to be unveiled in 2020.
No details have been disclosed about the tie-up but it was confirmed in the Premier League club’s annual financial report released earlier this week.
United’s latest financial figures for the first quarter of 2019/20, the period from 1st July to 30th September, show the Lego partnership contributed to a UK£4 million (US$5.2 million) increase in sponsorship revenue that totalled UK£53.6 million (US$69.5 million).

I'm kinda disappointed with that poor attempt at a clever headline.

Makes sense, with Phil Jones still in our squad we easily have the biggest blockhead in the league.

Chances of them selling a LEGO Carrington that comes with a LEGO Phil Jones in the medical bay as standard?

No wonder we struggle to score.
