Due to Manchester United's disastrous season, the Manchester club could lose a contract worth almost a billion euros.
Historic Premier League club, Manchester United has been going through a difficult period for several seasons. Under Sir Alex Ferguson, the club was the reference in Englandbut today, the Red Devils are only a shadow of themselves. After finishing 8th in the championshipa sad record that had not been reached for many years, nothing seems to be going well despite the arrival of Ruben Amorim.
After tempting Erik ten Hag, promising Ajax coach, the management decided to part with it to recruit the reigning champion of Portugal, Ruben Amorim. His debut was promising, notably with a victory against Manchester City. However, since this match won against the rival, the Red Devils have had 4 consecutive defeats in all competitions, including 3 in the Premier League. Currently 14e of the Premier League, European competitions are far from their reach. This ranking, which is far too low for a club of this stature, could have a major impact on the financial aspect of Manchester United. Indeed, according to The Telegraph, Manchester United's £900million equipment deal with Adidas could be terminated if the club is relegated from the Premier League.
A possible relegation for Manchester United?
Since the creation of the Premier League (1992 reform), Manchester United have never been relegated. So far, it was unthinkable that such a club could leave the elite of English football. However, this option could well become a reality for the most successful club in the English championship. Only 7 points from the relegation zoneManchester United no longer has the right to make mistakes for the second half of the season.
The contract with Adidas, as well as the prestige of the club, are at stake this season. Losing such a substantial deal would greatly influence the future of the Mancunian team. However, there is still time for Manchester United to get their act together. With the winter transfer window, where Ruben Amorim is seeking reinforcements, the Red Devils could move up the Premier League standings.
