Manchester United will confirm a record kit deal of around £70million-a-year with Adidas on Monday afternoon.
The staggering figure is more than double the amount they currently pocket from current partner Nike.
Sportsmail's Charles Sale and Matt Lawton first revealed in May that Adidas were favourites to take over.
They have beaten off competition from US brands Warrior - sponsors of Liverpool - and Under Armour.
The United deal will kick off for the 2015-16 season, with Nike to continue for one more campaign.
It is not yet known how long the deal is for.
But the contract is a massive boost for United as they bid to bounce back from failing to qualify for the Champions League.
Nike released a statement last week revealing they had pulled out of negotiations because of the eye-watering figures being demanded.

Devils dropped out of Europe for the first time since 1990
Where it all began: Nike's relationship with
United began in 2002, as David Beckham celebrates scoring a Premier
League goal against Charlton
