Manchester United players have been facing issues with their kits in the 2023-2024 season, according to Mike Keegan from the Daily Mail.
Too Tight Socks & Non-Fitting Authentic Player Goalkeeper Kit: Manchester United Players Reportedly Struggling with Kit Issues
The Manchester United 2023-2024 home socks are said to be too tight and haven't been used since game two. The socks are likely too tight because of the incorporated graphic design that restricts the stretch of the socks, according to former Adidas designer Marcus Dilley.
Additionally, goalkeeper Andre Onana's match authentic jersey is too small, so he has been wearing a replica instead. In the latest matches wearing the authentic kit, he opted for a larger size, resulting in a kit that was too long.
It's unclear if the kit issues have affected the players' performance on the field, but Adidas are reportedly working on a solution.

Arsenal talisman Bukayo Saka and Real Madrid signing Yan Diomande have both taken to the pitch wearing all-white New Balance Furon V9 boots at the start of the 26-27 campaign. Thanks to @volkyfootballboots.v2 for spotting.
As two of the primary headline athletes for New Balance's flagship speed silo, their synchronized switch away from standard on-pitch colorways to a whiteout look points toward an upcoming limited-edition pack or special release from the American brand in the near future.
It’s normal that brands hide their new flagship-shoes with a whiteout colorway until their release takes place officially, so competitors can’t already get an early glimpse into their newest design.
