Manchester United is expected to lose millions following the release of their new training kit.
The club unveiled their 2025/2026 training gear without a sponsor logo, a situation many supporters found “embarrassing”.
Typically, different brands sponsor the playing kits and the training kits.
However, United`s partnership with the blockchain company Tezos, valued at approximately £24 million annually, concluded on June 30.
Then, on Tuesday, the Premier League club, which has faced recent struggles, revealed their new plum-colored training kit for manager Ruben Amorim`s sessions, conspicuously lacking a sponsor.
This situation means they are currently forfeiting a significant amount of potential income.
Fans quickly noticed and commented, with one person remarking: “Not surprising. There`s not many want to be associated with us.”
Another fan expressed frustration, calling it “Shambolic”.
Sources within the club had previously indicated that a new training kit sponsor would be finalized shortly after the Tezos agreement ended.
However, it is also understood that there are currently no immediate plans to secure a new sponsor, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The training kit bearing the Tezos logo had been worn by United`s first team for the past three years and also featured on the women`s team`s gear.
Securing a new training kit sponsor quickly will be crucial for helping the club balance its finances, which appear to be under pressure.
United released several photos showcasing players in the new strip and related apparel like coats and jackets, featuring individuals such as Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, and Leny Yoro.
Forward Alejandro Garnacho, who is reportedly seeking a move, was also included in the promotional images, despite being linked with a departure and potentially being on the transfer list.
Last month, Matheus Cunha was pictured wearing a Tezos-sponsored hoodie during his unveiling after signing from Wolves.
Now, however, any new player signings will likely be photographed in training gear without a sponsor logo.
News of the Tezos training kit sponsorship ending follows reports that Marriott International also decided not to renew its hospitality sponsorship deal, which expired after being signed in 2019.
Meanwhile, Snapdragon continues its sponsorship of the club`s matchday kits through a five-year deal valued at £300 million.
Amorim`s team is scheduled to begin their Premier League season on August 17 at home against Arsenal.
