Man Utd 2025/26 home kit ‘LEAKED' as fans fume ‘Adidas aren't even trying anymore'
Manchester United fans are seeing red and not in a good way after the club's new home kit was leaked online. The 2025/26 Adidas-made strip has sparked fury across social media with furious Reds supporters slamming the red shirt with black and white collar. 3 Images circulating online show a minimal design with barely any detailing, aside from the iconic badge and Adidas logo — with some fans joking that 'Adidas aren't even trying anymore.' One fan fumed on X: 'We need to ditch Adidas at the earliest opportunity. "Ironically the 'bus seat' kit (which I hated) is the best of the bunch here.' Another joked: 'Matches the quality of football at Old Trafford in recent years.' The kit includes an Old Trafford-inspired sleeve graphic, marking the first time in many years that Manchester United has featured sleeve prints on their home shirts. The words ' Theatre of Dreams' are printed on the collar and the kit will be available at some point this month, with white shorts and black socks as the primary combination. Some fans, however, aren't impressed by the design details, comparing it to previous seasons. One commented: 'Pretty much a blend of the last two seasons' kits, very bland, Adidas are definitely running out of new kit ideas.' Adidas, who signed a £900 million mega-deal with United in 2015 for 10 years, are now facing mounting pressure from fans to show more creativity and respect for the club's rich heritage. One tongue-in-cheek post read: 'Next season they'll just hand us red vests and say it's 'retro'.' United have yet to officially unveil the kit but if the online backlash is anything to go by, they might want to head back to the drawing board. United's poor performance on the pitch has left fans fuming. They finished 15th in the league and lost the Europa League final to Tottenham, who hadn't won a trophy in 17 years.
