Manchester United Is Back to Wearing the Correct Socks

  • Socks Issue: Manchester United's custom Adidas socks were too tight, causing players like Garnacho to cut holes in them.
  • Incorrect Socks Usage: The team has worn multiple incorrect sock variations, including old Adidas socks and teamwear socks with the new logo.
  • Kit Variations: Manchester United has had five different kit variations in the first five Premier League games, including multiple errors involving socks.

Update: After more than four months, Manchester United is finally back to wearing their custom Adidas socks. The problem with the socks was that they were too tight due to the sewn design - we expect Adidas to have fixed the problem, even though Garnacho still cut a hole in each of his socks.

Update: Manchester United did manage to wear another different black socks with their home kit in the Premier League match against Brighton. This time, they were standard black/white Adidas teamwear socks but with the new Adidas logo.

The only correct socks are those with a custom design, exclusively provided by Adidas for Manchester United for the 2023-2024 season. They match the design of the home rose-bridge-inspired Manchester United home shirt.

Indeed, as also spotted by @kit_geek, Manchester United have sported five unique kit variations in their first 5 Premier League matches.
