Due to the ongoing global coronavirus pandemic, and the way it disrupted the footballing calendar in 2020, United and current shirt sponsors Chevrolet have agreed a no-cost extension to their current arrangement to December 2021 - which means United will start the season with one sponsor, and change it mid-season.
As the club explains: 'In August 2020, due to the disruption caused by the pandemic, [Manchester United] entered into a variation agreement with General Motors (Chevrolet) to extend the maturity date of the original shirt sponsor agreement by a period of six months to 31st December 2021.'
What this means for anyone buying brand new Chevrolet-sponsored replica kits at the beginning of the season, only for them to be out-of-date in a matter of months is unclear. Perhaps the club will provide a special discount, or a December swap option, or maybe even a velcro sponsor that can be ripped off and replaced.
Either way, United find themselves in a bizarre situation where they will start the season with one kit and end it with another.Quiz: Name England and Croatia’s starting XIs from the 2018 World Cup semi-final
