According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-13557899/Man-United-BAFTA-actor-Barry-Keoghan-kit-campaign.html" target="_blank">Daily Mail</a>, the Red Devils have cast Keoghan in their upcoming kit launch for the 2024-25 season. The BAFTA-winning actor will take centre stage to showcase the new strips.

WHAT HAPPENED?

American brand Snapdragon, who will be the front-of-shirt sponsors for United next season, employed <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/eric-cantona-net-worth/c3d3ghqnifj915wimqymodetm" target="_blank">club legend Eric Cantona</a> for the announcement of the £60 million ($75m/€70m) deal earlier in the year - with Keoghan the latest name to be used as a marketing tool for the club.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Keoghan won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor in The Banshees of Inisherin&nbsp;and was also nominated for an Oscar for the same role. He has also been put forward for two Golden Globe awards across his career, with one of them arriving following his performance in Saltburn as Oliver Quick.

DID YOU KNOW?

The kit launch starring Keoghan will be released later in the summer, with focus shifting to the transfer window now that Erik ten Hag's future at the club has been resolved. New minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/erik-ten-hag-man-united-ineos-ibiza-meeting-hot-water/blt02e479dbb8e8dfce" target="_blank">decided to keep the Dutch boss</a> at United following a lengthy end-of-season review.
