  • Manchester United will change its jersey for an upcoming Premier League match to comply with a lesser-known league regulation.
  • The team must display the official Premier League badge on both sleeves, including the left sleeve which currently lacks a sponsor.
  • This adjustment follows the expiration of their sponsorship deal with DXC Technology.

Manchester United is set to alter its jersey for an upcoming Premier League fixture, adhering to a regulation that has flown under the radar for many.

The club, known as the 'Red Devils,' will host Ipswich Town wearing the official Premier League badge on both sleeves. This change is necessitated by the absence of a sponsor on the left sleeve, following the termination of their agreement with DXC Technology, a deal reportedly worth around 20 million pounds annually.

In their season opener against Hull, the team appeared with their new third kit, but the left sleeve was conspicuously missing the required Premier League insignia. According to Premier League rules, teams without a commercial sponsor on their left sleeve must instead feature the league's official badge, mirroring the display on the right sleeve.

Consequently, Manchester United will rectify this oversight, ensuring both sleeves bear the Premier League's emblem starting from their next match. This move ensures compliance with the league's stringent uniform regulations.
