Manchester United supporters eager to purchase the club’s 2025\u201326 home and away shirts have encountered an unexpected restriction. Despite anticipation around adidas’s new designs, fans will find they cannot officially print the names of three iconic No. 7s\u2014Cristiano Ronaldo, Eric Cantona, and David Beckham\u2014on replica jerseys from the club shop.<\/p>\n
A notice at United\u2019s Old Trafford Megastore explains that \u201cDue to licensing restrictions, we are unable to print Cantona, Beckham, and Ronaldo.\u201d The underlying reason is that all three former players hold their own image rights. This arrangement prevents the club from authorizing their names for printing on the new kits.<\/p>\n
This policy limits supporters to choosing from other current or former players when personalizing shirts. New arrivals like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, along with captain Bruno Fernandes, are expected to be popular alternatives.<\/p>\n
While the trio remain legendary figures in the club\u2019s history, their individual image rights ownership means fans must look elsewhere for official name printing on the latest Manchester United jerseys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
