‘Horrible’ - Manchester United fans react to leaked home kit for next season

A number of Manchester United fans have reacted angrily to leaked images of the club’s new home kit for next season.

The jersey combines the classic red main colour with white, but also has a large portion of black for the first time since the 2019-20 season and it also features a black and white V-neck shirt, scrapping the white collar with red and black triangles from this campaign.

United’s kit supplier Adidas will switch from the letters to only the old-school three stripes with the players continuing to sport the TeamViewer sponsor despite the club agreeing to end their deal with the German company.

However, United fans have been left disappointed by the new kit with some terming it horrific and disgusting.

One fan said: “Another average Adidas effort, not bad but nothing special. I sincerely hope we go elsewhere when our contract ends in 2025. Nike/Jordan could work.”

“It must be just me but I hate all the Adidas designs,” another one said.

Others think United’s kit makers have been poor for years. “Since the SAFs (Sir Alex Ferguson’s) treble season, we have had the worst kit designs. Terrible kits,” said another disappointed supporter.

The Red Devils are back to Premier League duties on Thursday when they take on Tottenham Hotspur who are still smarting from Sunday’s 6-1 thrashing away to Newcastle United.

Sunday saw United return to Wembley two months on from that Carabao Cup triumph looking to inject new life into a season that threatened to end without another trophy had they lost to high-flying Brighton and Hove Albion.

Erik ten Hag's side headed to London reeling from Thursday's embarrassing Europa League quarter-final capitulation against Sevilla but, not for the first time this season, they succeeded in bouncing back with character.

United had to dig deep against Brighton under the arch to run out 7-6 shoot-out winners after it ended 0-0 after 120 minutes, setting up an all-Manchester FA Cup final on June 3.
