MAN UTD has asked a Hollywood legend to help them honor George Best, a club hero.
In honor of the Belfast-born star, the Red Devils are putting out a new line of clothes with Adidas.
Best put together more than 350 games for the Red Devils and was chosen for FIFA’s Team of the Century.
Man Utd’s win of the European Cup in 1967–68 is what inspired the new line.
Best scored in extra time at Wembley as United beat Benfica 4-1 in the final.
The new clothes were modelled by Manchester United stars Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Mason Mount, and Ethan Wheatley.
A shirt, jogging trousers and a zip-up top are all in the George Best Collection. They are all a classic dark blue United colour.
The line’s launch picture shoot also included Manchester United legends Bryan Robson and Andy Cole. The clothes have the city’s coat of arms on them.
In front of the camera was Gary Oldman, who is a movie star and played Slow Horses.
One fan said: “The George Best collection shot on a vintage Chamonix camera by THE Gary Oldman is a pretty cool sentence to write on a rainy Friday, fair play to adidas & MUFC.”
Someone said: “Belfast born, Manchester made, and now a collection that honours his greatness, George Best’s influence lives on.”
A third said, “This collection perfectly captures George Best’s spirit!” “Proud to honour such a famous player.”
People often see Oldman at United games at Old Trafford because he is a big fan.
Fans were surprised when he went on TNT Sports before a March game against Everton.
Oldman won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2018 for his role as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour.
With the prestigious award in hand, he celebrated in a Manchester United shirt that Marcus Rashford had signed.
The picture was shared on Man Utd’s official Instagram with the caption, “How to top off a great night winning an Oscar?”
“Of course, a shirt signed by your favourite #MUFC player!
“Well played @MarcusRashford and congrats on your award, Gary.”
This year, Oldman was asked if he would trade his trophy for the Premier League title. He answered right away, “Yes!”
