Manchester United's new deal with adidas is set to make a negative on English cricket.

The Daily Mail says adidas will need to make cutbacks elsewhere in their global business to afford the staggering £750million over 10 years that they have invested in United - with cricket one of the endangered sectors.

The German company have been the teamwear suppliers to all England cricket sides since 2008 and in 2011 the deal was extended to run until 2017.

But it's understood that adidas, who will not renew the contract again, want to downgrade the deal in its remaining seasons - so it becomes more similar to the licensing agreement they have with England Hockey rather than one of their marquee partnerships.
