Manchester United’s kit was once too grey, but now ‘too tight’ adidas strip means they’re wearing replica shirts

Manchester United players are reported to have found their adidas kits too tight to wear and are now donning replicas.

The Premier League giants are struggling for form this season, with seven wins and seven defeats coming from their 14 games this season.

A 3-0 loss against Manchester City on Sunday sees them sit ninth in the Premier League, and the problems appear to show no sign of stopping.

However, recent matches seem to have presented an additional hurdle for Erik ten Hag's players.

The Daily Mail reports that some have complained that their adidas kits are too tight, with the sports giants now eyeing a solution.

United have not worn their official home socks since the second game of the season, a 2-0 defeat away at Tottenham.

Andre Onana is also said to have problems with his match jersey, with the goalkeeper now wearing a replica version which is looser.

He is said to have asked for such a change from what was a 'closer fit' after United's 2-1 win away at Sheffield United on October 21.

Ten Hag and kit staff have had complaints about the tightness of the socks on their calves, with some cutting holes in the back of them.

adidas are set to fix the kits for the players over the next month, with a source telling the Daily Mail they will make 'light amendments’.

Mark Goldbridge believes Manchester United are completely broken and not even Pep Guardiola could fix their issues

It's not the first time United have had issues with their kits, although a previous occasion was more to do with the colour of their strips.

Southampton hosted Sir Alex Ferguson's side at The Dell in April 1996, with the Saints cruising to a 3-0 lead before half-time.

At the break, the legendary United boss took issue with their grey away kit as the sun made it difficult for the players to see each other.

"The manager just stormed in and said: 'Get that kit off, you're getting changed,'" Lee Sharpe, who played in the match, revealed in 2006.

Sir Alex was angry about how their grey kit affected the players in a match in 1996

And so they did, with United emerging out for the second half in a blue and white strip.

However, it did little to change their fortunes on the pitch as they fell to a 3-1 defeat and were fined £10,000 for breaching kit protocol, although Sir Alex said it was the best £10,000 he ever spent.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
