What football boots does the Manchester United team wear?

Manchester United are one of the biggest names in football. Their brand alone enables them to always attract the biggest and best players to Old Trafford. United’s success on the pitch is unparalleled over the past half a century. The current crop of stars includes World Cup-winner Paul Pogba, one of the world’s best keepers in David De Gea and a future England hero Marcus Rashford. But what football boots are all the big names in Manchester United wearing?

What football boots do the Manchester United players play in for the 2017/18 season?

Who has the best football boots at Man United?

Pogba’s Adidas Predator Team Mode boots have got to be the highlight. They look like the old-school Predators but in HD. Like when the optician tells you to look through one lens and it is a bit blurry and unclear but you think that it still could be the correct lens. But then they whip out the next one and you saw details in the world you never thought you’d see with perfect vision. These are what the new Predator Team Modes are like in comparison to the original Predators. Yes, they were good boots, but these are streamlined and modern.

What is the most popular football boot brand in the Manchester United team?

Nike is the most popular football boot brand at Man United with 54.5% of players wearing the U.S company’s boots. Adidas comes in at 40.9% and Puma (solely with Lukaku) makes up the rest.  

What is the most popular football boot in the Manchester United team?

The Nike Tiempo Legends are the most popular footy boot in the Man United team.

David De Gea wears Adidas X 18.1

The Spain keeper had a less-than-convincing World  Cup, but has been a pivotal part of Man United’s defensive unit over the past few seasons. His agility and reactions are perhaps what is most impressive about his play, with close-range saves (often with his legs) being his forte. David Dea wears the Adidas X 18.1 football boots.

Sergio Romero wears Adidas Predator 18.1

It’s tough to be behind one of the best keeper’s in the world at club level, but the experienced Argentine keeper is a great backup to have.

Eric Bailly wears Nike Tiempo Legend XII

When Bailly arrived in Manchester from Villareal, few had heard of the Ivorian. But he burst onto the scene and really impressed during his debut season, despite a bad knee injury. His performances dropped on his return, but we hope there is more to come from the centre-back.

Diogo Dalot wears Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite

The young Portuguese defender arrived at Old Trafford this season. He only made his Porto debut in February, but has already received high acclaim. At 19 years old, he is definitely one to look out for in the future.  

Luke Shaw wears Adidas x 18.1

Shaw is a strange one. He impressed at Southampton back in his youth days, and when he got the move to Manchester United big things were expected. However, he never really lived up to the hype and received large amounts of criticism by Jose Mourinho in particular, primarily regarding his fitness.

At 23, he is around the age where he is no longer considered as a good asset to have for the future, and is going to soon have to fulfill his potential and prove his ability. That is what he seems to be doing as he has kicked off the season in scintillating style.  

Marcus Rojo wears Nike Mercurial Vapour XII

Rojo is another player who brings mixed opinions. He undoubtedly has quality, but always seems to have a mistake in him as well. He looks like he could be from a South American gang and/or cartel though, so we don’t want to be too harsh to the Argentine.

Chris Smalling wears Nike Tiempo Legend VII

Smalling was once so instrumental at the heart of England and United’s defence. He has dropped off slightly in the past years but still remains a decent talent.

Matteo Darmian wears Nike Tiempo Legend XII

Darmian has made over 50 appearances for the Red Devils since his move in 2015. The Italian has slipped somewhat under the radar, but is a solid part of this United side.

Phil Jones wears Adidas Predator 18.1

Clumsy. Awkward. Dopey. But always committed. Jones is more popular for his meme-candy facial expressions as opposed to his footballing talent. Like his teammate Smalling, he has also played for England.

Paul Pogba wears Adidas Predator Team Mode

Here’s the big one, it’s Paul ‘The Powerhouse’ Pogba. One of the most talked about players in the Premier League. His boot history is rather impressive too. Adidas gave him his very own Pogbooms (Adidas Ace 16+ PureControls) in 2016. Since then he has worn Predators, France-related boots and even a special pair for the World Cup.

Although his form for United is far off what we saw from the Frenchman at Juventus and for his national side, he still shows glimpses of just how good a player he is. Mourinho is perhaps not the best-suited manager for him to excel under, but his quality is still evident.

Paul Pogba currently wears Adidas Predator Team Mode football boots.

Jesse Lingard wears Adidas Nemeziz 18.1

JLINGZ smashed it at the World Cup for England, and we thought he would push on and claim his spot thoroughly for United, but he has not managed to match his international performances yet. There’s still time for the forward, but he needs to start proving he is good enough to be a Premier League star.

Antonio Valencia wears Nike Tiempo Legend VII

As the longest-serving player currently at the club (there since 2009), Valencia has been there through the glory days of Sir Alex Ferguson, and the not-so-glory days of Van Gaal and Moyes. And now he captains his side under Mourinho.

After initially signing from Wigan, the Ecuadorian has battered defences down that right wing. Under Van Gaal, he was regularly played as a right wing-back/ right-back and now resides there permanently after playing as an attacker at the start of his career. His versatility, attacking threat as well as defensive capability, not to mention his pace, has ensure he remains a valuable asset to whichever manager has been in charge.

Marouane Fellaini wears Nike Tiempo Legend VII

Fellaini must have some really, really, really good chat-up lines because that hair is not getting him anywhere with the ladies. His ‘robust’ style of play includes throwing as many elbows as humanly possible in one match. But you know what, he is an effective player. Towards the end of his Everton career he looked like a genuinely decent player, but he is now used as an 80th-minute sub to come on and intimidate all the little kids in the stadium.

Usually, he either comes on and scores/sets up a goal, or he will give away a penalty and/or get sent off. It is one or the other with him. One thing’s for sure though, he should be wearing the most basic black Umbros as opposed to the silky Tiempo Legends. It is a crime to football and an insult to the beauties that are the Tiempo Legends that such a brute is wearing them.

Nemanja Matic wears Adidas Predator 18.1

Do you remember that banger Matic scored for Chelsea against Spurs at Wembley? It is not really relevant to the fact he wears Adidas Predators, but any excuse to show that beauty of a goal again!

He is an absolute warrior and has been a player who has shown his quality when the team have been performing poorly. What a buy he has been for United.

Fred wears Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite

How good is it that a Brazilian called Frederico Rodrigues de Paula Santos is known by the name Fred? He was a big fish in a small pond over at Shakhtar Donetsk, where he made over 100 appearances. He’s finally got his big move, but it is now just a case of making his name at Old Trafford.  

Ander Herrera wears Adidas X 18+

Herrera is the strangest of them all. He rarely scores, assists or makes any telling contribution, yet the stats when he plays for United are undeniable. He is a huge asset to the side.

Romelu Lukaku wears Puma ONE 

Lukaku is an absolute plonker. He struts around the pitch not knowing where to go. Occasionally the ball will hit him and bounce off out of play or to the opposition. But the weird thing is, he actually does well and scores quite a lot of goals. 

Alexis Sanchez wears Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite

It is sad to see Sanchez a ghost of his former self. He bossed it at Barca and for most of his time at Arsenal. But his move to United hasn’t worked out well for him. Nobody can fault his effort, but we can’t see him reaching the levels he did when he first moved to Arsenal.

Marcus Rashford wears Nike Hypervenom Phantom III

He is one United youngster who is actually young. The 20-year-old burst onto the scene after getting a first team call-up due to a striker shortage. He has never looked back since, and has gone on to feature for England as well. Big things are expected of this man. Bring it home for us in 2022.

Anthony Martial wears Nike Mercurial Vapour XII Elite

Martial is one of our favourite ballers. The way he has one facial expression at all times is truly unique and admirable. Martial sad – see image below. Martial happy – see image below. Martial score hattrick in World Cup Final – see image below. Martial discovers cure for cancer while simultaneously developing a rare condition that makes him fly, be invisible and also time travel – see image below.

Juan Mata wears Adidas Nemeziz 18.1

You can’t help but like Juan Mata. The Spaniard is a true gentleman of the game. He always seems to have time for fans, never behaves in a disrespectful manner and is the founder of the Common Goal initiative where he encourages players to donate 1% of their wages to charity. What a great guy. You could even say he is that well liked that nobody is his ‘Nemeziz.’ – feel free to credit FBG when you use that one yourselves…

Ashley Young wears Nike Mercurial Vapour XII Elite

We’re not a fan of Ashley Young. His tendency to go to ground under minimal contact does not bode well with FBG. Anyhow, simulation aside he is a great player and has similarly adapted to a defensive role after starting his career as a winger.
