New kit: Manchester United will take to the pitch at the Amex Stadium wearing their brand new 2026/27 home strip for the second time in a competitive fixture, having also done so against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
The 1977 Inspiration: The design serves as a direct tribute to the iconic kit worn during the 1977 FA Cup final victory over Liverpool, marking the start of a golden anniversary celebration.
The shirt features a distinctive retro collar and wider Adidas stripes that utilise new heat-management technology for the 2026 World Cup cycle.
A Shift in Tradition: Historically, United have been one of the few elite clubs to resist wearing the following season’s kit before the summer, making this early look a significant break from tradition.
The move is largely a commercial strategy to jump-start global sales and build anticipation for the kit during the season finale.
