The Team's Official Suits Are by Paul Smith!
After concluding friendly matches in Bangkok and Sydney, the Manchester United squad, having arrived at Narita Airport by charter plane, showed no signs of travel fatigue and headed straight to the Paul Smith Omotesando store for some shopping.
Nearly 60 people, including top players and team staff, visited the store. Shinji Kagawa, who had been given time off, also joined them, and appeared to be happily greeting his teammates and enjoying their reunion.
Paul Smith has been providing official suits and accessories to Manchester United since 2008. This was the first time Manchester United had entered into such a partnership.
Below is Paul's comment at the time of the contract.
“I am delighted to be involved with Manchester United. The team has fans all over the world. I am sure that our customers in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and indeed across Southeast Asia, Europe, and America will be interested in this partnership.”
Manchester United will play Cerezo Osaka tonight at 7 PM at Nagai Stadium in Osaka. As it is a match against Shinji Kagawa's former club, it is sure to be a deeply moving occasion for fans of both teams.
