Manchester United Chevrolet Kit Deal To Expire In Exactly One Year
In exactly one year from today, on December 31 2021, Manchester United's deal will Chevrolet will expire. We find out what this means for Manchester United's kits next season.
The Manchester United Chevrolet deal was originally scheduled to end on June 30 2021 but was extended for six months with no costs for Chevrolet in October 2020. In total, the Chevrolet Man Utd contract was worth £450 million for seven years -£64 million a season.
No Favorites Known For Manchester United New Main Sponsor
The deal expiring on December 31 2021 means that Man United will likely have two main sponsors in the 2021-22 season. It is also possible that the Manchester United shirt will be sponsor-free from 1 January 2021 if no deal is signed by the club until December 31 2021.
Man United sent aout this kit in 2009
There could be a main sponsor free shirt from Manchester United in the 2021-2022 season
So there will be at least two different home kits from Manchester United in the 2021-2022 season - one with Chevrolet and another with a different sponsor / sponsor free.

Manchester United were already in talks with prospective new partners in March 2020 and have been sending replica shirts to the potential sponsors with different brand names, as revealed in a story of Manchester Evening News from March 2020.
All three of our concepts are completely fictional
We have imagined how the logos of three different brands would look like on the Manchester United 20-21 home kit while also creating a sponsor-free version.
Manchester United is not the only team whose contract was heavily influenced by COVID-19 - the Rakuten deal of FC Barcelona was extended until Summer 2022, however.
