Nike’s partnership with Manchester United, which began in 2002, sees the club’s commitment to victorious and entertaining football matched by Nike’s dedication to providing the best and most innovative products to the club and fans. By respecting the club’s illustrious past and embracing cutting edge performance design, Nike has helped Manchester United to 10 major titles since the start of their partnership.

The 'Swoosh' logo has adorned some of the greatest teams and players in the history of the game, including Manchester United legends Eric Cantona, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo. Of the current squad, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez, the da Silva twins, Chris Smalling, Park Ji-Sung, Patrice Evra, Paul Scholes and Rio Ferdinand all wear Nike boots.

The Manchester United kit is made under Nike’s Considered Design programme – which uses discarded plastic bottles to make the recycled lightweight polyester.  This ensures the kits remain the most eco-friendly ever by reducing energy consumption by up to 30% compared to manufacturing traditional polyester, and saving nearly 100 million plastic water bottles from being dumped at landfill sites, as Nike commits to making a greener world.

It was Sir Matt Busby who first instilled the ethos of training and trusting exciting youngsters, and this is something that Nike and Manchester United both believe in. Working together, they have developed both the Manchester United Soccer Schools and Manchester United Premier Cup, the world’s largest junior football tournament which means Nike will look forward to sharing the club’s successes in coming seasons.
