Manchester United’s next season away kit leaks online

 

Manchester United’s away kit for the 2020/21 season has reportedly been leaked online, and it appears to resemble their infamous 1996 grey kit.

Reports initially indicated that United’s change strip which, manufactured by Adidas, would be a well-defined shade of green.

The colour is also officially known as ‘legacy green’ and is believed to have been used in Adidas’ latest pair of Predator boots.

However, the supposed first look at next season’s away strip appears to show the kit having a shade of grey, rather than dark green, with the club badge and Adidas logo visible in orange.

But the shirt resembles the Umbro kit that the likes of David Beckham and Ryan Giggs wore in the 90s, and which failed to inspire success on the field for United.

Sir Alex Ferguson’s side men earned just a single point from their five Premier League matches wearing the number.

The former United boss also rather famously made the players change out of their grey kit in favour of a more striking blue and white striped outfit after suggesting the players could not see each other in the Southampton sunshine.

Ferguson made the decision with his side 3-0 down at half-time against the Saints thanks to goals from Ken Monkou, Neil Shipperly and Matt Le Tissier.

But the change failed to inspire a heroic comeback despite Ryan Giggs’ second-half strike.

The FA subsequently fined the club £10,000 but now an image posted on Reddit appearing to show United’s away kit for next season slightly resembles the infamous grey kit.

And the supposed new away strip has already drawn similar negative reactions from the club’s supporters.

One fan tweeted: ‘A bit too grey if you ask me’, while another disliked that it does not adhere to the traditional United and colours and stated that his preference is still for a black and white second strip.
