Manchester United And Indian Bank Produce The Cringiest Advert Of 2018

Manchester United have announced a partnership with ICICI Bank in India, a decision that has brought us one of the most bizarre commercials you'll ever watch.

The club's relationship with ICICI, who have been labelled as one of India's most reputable banking groups by Manchester United Group's managing director Richard Arnold, means that supporters will be offered co-branded credit and debit cards.

We'll tell you more about that later on, but let's dive straight into this advert, which has caused quite a stir on social media in recent hours.

From the extreme dabbing in 2018 to those incredible Manchester United socks, we might have watched the above three times in the past hour.

Here's how United's managing director Richard Arnold described the partnership:

"The club has enjoyed numerous visits to India over the past few seasons, with our #ILOVEUNITED fan event held in Mumbai in January, attracting almost 5,000 fans to the live match screening." he said.
