Dj Cuppy and Burna Boy
Nigerian musicians, Burna Boy and Dj Cuppy are showing love to English Premier League side, Manchester United after the duo were spotted rocking the teams' recently released third kit for the 2020/21 season.
This follows widespread disapproval from fans about the 'zebra' design of the kit.
"My Red Devils! What do you make of our third kits," Dj Cuppy wrote on Instagram after the release.
Prior to that, she joined a social media campaign with other fans aimed at amplifying their love for the kit.
DJ Cuppy was rumoured to be an ardent fan of English Premier League rivals, Arsenal until recently.
Burna Boy, on the other hand, said he was the first to receive the new kit.
"Honoured to be one of the first to receive the new Manchester United kit #Readyforthenoise," he wrote wearing his custom-made kit.
In a statement, Adidas explained the design choice.
“From United’s first striped kit over 100 years ago, to the eye-catching designs of the 1970s and 80s, the latest release aims to provide a fresh update to tradition, while delivering a vibrant new print."
“To create this new design, adidas re-drew, hacked and re-imagined combined elements from various jerseys throughout the club’s long history to create a bold new pattern. Utilising United’s iconic club colours of red, white, and black the kit is an original story with a modern update," the statement reads.
