Why Man Utd will wear (RED) in place of front-of-shirt sponsor vs Brentford

Manchester United fans will notice a change in kit when the players line up to face Brentford at Old Trafford.

The 2025/26 Premier League campaign resumes on Monday evening when Manchester United face Brentford, and the result will be crucial towards achieving Champions League qualification.

Because of the £60m deal with Snapdragon, United fans have grown used to seeing the tech company’s branding as the front-of-shirt sponsorship.

But, against Brentford, United will wear a unique, special edition shirt with (RED) branded on the front.

Is this the best Man Utd line-up vs Brentford? What would you change?

Last season, United wore (RED) as a shirt sponsor in a match against West Ham, and this season they will return on the shirt to face Brentford.

(RED) are a charitable organisation that works towards combating global health crises, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and malaria.

Kate Charles, the Managing Director of (RED), said: “This collection shows how purpose-driven partnerships can turn the power of sport into real-world impact.

“Each shirt tells a story from the pitch, while also helping to fund life-saving global health programs in communities where they are needed most.”
