Fourteenth in the Premier League and remaining on a humiliating defeat this Monday against Newcastle (2-0), Manchester United are in trouble. The English club, which currently has a seven-point lead over Ipswich Town, the first to be relegated, is a candidate for retention according to the words of its coach Ruben Amorim. A prospect which would not be encouraging economically for the Red Devils.
Indeed, (The Telegraph)((Telegraph)(https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/01/01/adidas-end-kit-deal-man-utd-relegated-sponsorship-deal/) explains that relegation would have terrible consequences for the Mancunian club. With a record deal worth more than $1 billion in 10 euros since 2023 with adidas, Manchester United could see the German brand walk away in the event of relegation with one season’s notice. The brand would also have the option to reduce its payments by 50% for one year.
