Pressure to win
This is the last season that the Manchester United football jerseys will feature the Nike logo, as from next season Adidas has taken over the contract. Just last week, it was announced that Adidas has attached a string of terms and conditions to the £750 million record-breaking deal. If Manchester United fail to secure Champions League football the value of the deal would be cut significantly. Based on initial performances Louis van Gaal, the club and fans have little to worry about.
Louis van Gaal has taken over from David Moyes, who was drafted in as replacement for Sir Alex Ferguson, but was sacked after only 10 months. The Manchester United soccer jerseys became a pitiful and woeful sight last season. Too many loses, discontent and lack of harmony between Moyes and his team proved disastrous. Louis van Gaal has a stern reputation, and his own management and playing style. Whether he was the right fit for the Red Devils has been questioned, however, recent performance shows that he may be the best man for the job.
Recent years have seen many Premier League clubs heading to America, Asia and Australia for pre-season tours. Louis van Gaal has openly criticized the involvement of Manchester United in the International Champions Cup for being too much travelling, and excessive. However, the team's performance has left little doubt that Manchester United is back and ready to win.
The brand new Manchester United home kit 2014 has been used throughout the tournament, both to signify the new start and for marketing purposes. The team has certainly put on a show, they are undefeated in the International Champions Cup and demand for their football shirts in the USA is sure to be strong based on the team's performance.
International Champions
The International Champions Cup may be a friendly pre-season tournament, but when the big guns of soccer play they want to win. Manchester United was grouped alongside Inter Milan, Roma and Real Madrid. Throughout the tournament Louis van Gaal has stretched and tested his squad, making changes and swapping around the positions of the Manchester United soccer jerseys to get the best from them.
In their first game Manchester United beat Roma 3-2. The second showing of the Manchester United football jerseys was against Inter Milan, this proved to be a tough match that ended 0-0, and resulted in a penalty shoot-out that the Red Devils won 5-3. The final group stage match was a thrilling 3-1 game against Real Madrid that was watched by 109,000 spectators at the Michigan Stadium.
Three wins put Manchester United at the top of the table, and secured their place in the final against Group B winners Liverpool. This may have technically been a friendly match up but both teams wanted to win, and play to win they did. The brand new Manchester United home kit 2014 was on display alongside, the latest Liverpool away jerseys in this tense football game at the Sun Life Stadium in Florida.
Liverpool took the lead through a penalty that was taken by captain Steven Gerrard. The score line was 1-0 at halftime, and Louis van Gaal must have worked his magic during the break. Wayne Rooney netted the equalizer on the 55th minute. Only 2 minutes later Juan Mata hit the net again to completely turn the tide of the game. A 3rd was added in the closing stages by Jesse Lingard to seal the victory for the Red Devils.
Based on this performance Manchester United cannot and will not be ruled out of contention for the 2014 2015 Premier League title. With 4 UEFA Champions League spots up for grabs, and 5 teams in the running the battle at the top of the Premier League will be fierce. To maintain the terms of the Adidas deal Manchester United must slot into one of those 4 spots, but Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea are unlikely to give up their positions without a stern fight.
