MANCHESTER UNITED have finally solved the problems with their kits after players complained they were too tight.
It was revealed earlier this season that the Red Devils squad were wearing replica gear as their player-issued strips were too fitted.
Andre Onana’s issues with his player-issued jersey have now been fixedReuters
Among the specific issues were the socks – which the Man Utd team had not worn since their second game of the season.
And keeper Andre Onana was having problems with his jersey as it was too tight – forcing him to wear a looser replica.
According to The Mail, kit manufacturer Adidas went to work on “light amendments”.
They had hoped to fix the matter by December, but it took much longer than they were anticipating.
Now, though, the Man Utd players are back wearing their player-issued kit after they pulled it on for their clash with West Ham on Sunday.
An Adidas spokesperson said: “United wore an updated design of the home sock.
“This has the same material and quality they have worn throughout the season, as with all club-issued socks.”
The Man Utd players performed in the altered strip as they claimed a 3-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford.

Man Utd’s 2024/25 kit ‘leaked’
Manchester United’s home kit for next season has allegedly been leaked online.
The shirt looks to be a retro design reminiscent of their 2003 kit.
That kit was adorned by the likes of Ruud van Nistelrooy, a young Cristiano Ronaldo and Roy Keane.
The new kit features the Adidas three stripes in white on the sleeve but a similar black trim to the 2003 number.
The shirt also features a new sponsor adorning the front of the shirt.
United will be sponsored by technology company Snapdragon for the first time next season.
But this incremental improvement came just days before SunSport exclusively revealed a huge blow to new owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe‘s plans to reinvent Old Trafford.
This is because the British billionaire’s vision to create a “Wembley of the North” is unlikely to get the £2billion Government funding required.
Ratcliffe wants Man Utd to leave their 114-year home for a brand new state-of-the-art 90,000-capacity ground on land next to the stadium.
But while it is understood to be possible that a significant regeneration scheme could be considered by the Department of Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, it appears major hurdles would stand in the way.
