Manchester United will donate all proceeds from shirt printing to Kick it Out if fans choose to get the ‘Black Lives Matter’ message on their tops, the club have confirmed.
United will wear ‘Black Lives Matter’ printed on the back of shirts in place of player names for Friday’s game against Tottenham.
Fans who want the message printed on their own shirt through the club will see the £10 cost donated to Kick It Out.
United managing director Richard Arnold said: “Manchester United has a long-standing commitment against racism and discrimination, both through our own campaigns and through support of external organisations working in this area.
"We wanted to take this from being a valuable message of support to real tangible help for the essential work that Kick It Out do in this area.”
Sanjay Bhandari, Chair of Kick it Out, added: “We are incredibly grateful for this support from Manchester United.
"There remains much to be done to combat discrimination and promote inclusion in football but we know that with the help of United and others, we can make progress.”
