A Manchester United footballer who is suing New Balance over “defective” boots was told by an executive at the sportswear company that they would “copy” Nike boots for him, it is claimed.
Marouane Fellaini, 30, has alleged that his New Balance boots had to be "steamed and stretched" by a United kit man before they would fit.
An investment company representing him has sued the American giant and is seeking £2 million (€2,245,640) damages.
According to court documents submitted to the High Court as evidence on Fellaini’s behalf, a New Balance executive vowed to fix the problem by copying boots manufactured by their competitor after the footballer complained directly to him in a string of WhatsApp messages.
