Liverpool vs Manchester United - Boot Preview
Updated with final lineups.
Tonight Liverpool will host Manchester United in a game that could well live up to its massive expectations once again, thanks to both teams strengthening well over the last couple of seasons. Let's take a look at which football boots will be on display at Anfield.
Liverpool Boot XI vs Manchester United
This is Liverpool's expected boot lineup against Manchester United.
A majority of Liverpool players will play in Nike boots, if the expected lineup is accurate. Just three Adidas (Karius, Matip and Firmino) and one Puma player in Lallana are expected to start tonight, while Nike is represented by no less than seven players. All Liverpool players used the latest models and colorways in recent games, so it's safe to not expect anything out of the ordinary in that department.
Manchester United Boot XI vs Liverpool
This is Manchester United's expected boot lineup for tonight.
Manchester United's boot lineup is made up entirely of Adidas and Nike players, with the Swoosh having a slight edge with seven against Adidas' four players. In terms of boot choices, goalkeeper David De Gea (Adidas Ace 15.1 Primeknit) and forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Nike Mercurial Vapor X) are probably the most interesting two. The rest if set to lace up in the latest colorways from the two brand's Floodlights and Stellar packs.

MLS Players Wear Their National Flags on Kits Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Major League Soccer last weekend hosted a dedicated "Farewell Week" to send off its international stars. To mark the occasion, all clubs across the domestic league took to the pitch wearing specially customized kits that honored the various nations represented within their squads.
The most prominent visual update to the MLS uniforms was the addition of official national flags printed directly on the chest for all players and coaching staff. In a highly thoughtful and personalized touch, the league provided specialized double-flag variations for athletes holding dual citizenship. This bespoke detail allowed these specific players to proudly represent both their current homelands and their heritage simultaneously before joining their respective national team camps.
Beyond the chest graphics, teams also sported a unique set of squad numbers on the back of their shirts, featuring a custom pattern made up of the flags of all 48 countries participating in this summer's World Cup.
What do you think of this customized flag concept for the MLS World Cup Farewell Week? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
Śląsk Wrocław Announces Macron Kit Deal - No More Nike
Macron has signed a multi-year agreement to become the technical partner of Polish club WKS Śląsk Wrocław.
Starting from the 2026-27 season, the Italian brand will provide technical apparel for the club's men's first and second teams, women's team, youth academy, and blind football team. The five-season deal is the most significant technical partnership in the club's history and includes plans for a new merchandising line for supporters.
Śląsk Wrocław secured promotion to the Ekstraklasa after an impressive campaign in the second tier. Founded in 1947, the Wrocław-based club has won two Polish league titles, two Polish Cups, and one Super Cup, with experience in European competitions. Macron is developing bespoke game sets that will be revealed before the start of the new season.
The partnership bolsters Macron's presence in Polish football alongside existing deals with Lech Poznań, Widzew Łódź, and GKS Katowice.
