David de Gea to Join Adidas?
Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea returned to pre-season training wearing the new Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Boots after he previously laced up in Puma Boots.
The Spaniard wore a pretty uncommon boot and gloves combination in the 2014-15 Premier League campaign. David de Gea laced up in Puma evoSPEED Soccer Boots, combined with Adidas Predator Goalkeeper Gloves. It's now possible that David de Gea joined the Three Stripes.
David de Gea trains in Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Boots
David de Gea yesterday trained in Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Soccer Cleats.
It's obvious that David de Gea sported the synthetic version of the launch colorway of the Adidas Ace Boots, which was debuted in the 2015 Champions League Final. But it's even more interesting that the Real Madrid target wore a blackout version of the Adidas Ace 2015-2016 Goalkeeper Gloves, which leave many questions unanswered.
While it's possible that David de Gea is testing a prototype version of the gloves, it's even more likely that he wears a unbranded version as player without a boot contract.
Adidas will become Manchester United's kit supplier on August 1, while the English club will wear Nike Kits and Training Shirts until that date. Therefore, Manchester United will debut the new Adidas Kits in the Premier League opener against Tottenham on August 8.
Will David de Gea join the 3 Stripes? We will watch out for David de Gea's Boots and Gloves in the coming weeks.
