    Obviously clickbait to capitalise on United’s poor form, but this is actually quite common recently.

    Lots of players from lots of clubs are purposely ripping holes in their socks pre-game out of the belief (right or wrong) that the tension is causing discomfort and/or higher risk of injruy.

    eg. Bellingham and Saka

      There was a huge issue in the MLS with people cutting off their socks so they could wear a brand of non slip socks. Big fines, uneven enforcement.
