📸 Snow falls on Manchester United's new away kit
Manchester United and Adidas have unveiled the new away kit for the 2025/26 season today.
Does the iconic snowflake on the 1992 away shirt ring a bell?
The new kit features a white base with a pattern that recreates the snowflake in lilac. Plum-colored details are added to the club's crest, the adidas logo, and the three stripes on each shoulder.
Ruben Amorim's team will wear the kit for the first time in the preseason friendly match on Saturday against Leeds United in Stockholm.

Manchester United betting season preview: What are the odds Red Devils make top 4?
The first 20 years of the Premier League were dominated by Manchester United. They won an astonishing 13 titles. That imperial era came to an end with the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson back in the summer of 2013 and, while there have been trophies and the occasional second-place finish since, United have never truly looked like returning to the summit of English football. Advertisement When Ruben Amorim was asked to replace Erik ten Hag in the first half of last season, he was adamant he'd rather wait until the end of the season. This was not an option and he steered the club to a horrific 15th-place finish and a Europa League run that ended in defeat in the final at the hands of Tottenham, the latter side ending the season in 17th place domestically. This was a low. Now there can be no more excuses. Amorim has had time over the summer to work with these players and attempt to instill a style of play. There is no European football to worry about and the target must be finishing as high up the table as possible. The bookmakers have United fifth-favourites to lift the Premier League come May but that is more to do with the stature of the club than a realistic expectation. The better bet is Champions League qualification (top four finish) at 4/1. With a less congested schedule and domestic trophies secured in recent seasons, this term will surely be all about aiming for a top-four finish. After a disastrous start to his managerial spell, the good news for Amorim is that he has managed to convince captain Bruno Fernandes to stay and was able to assure the club hierarchy that he's still the right man for the job. The latter have backed the coach in the transfer market as he attempts to do the major overhaul needed to make one of the world's great clubs truly competitive once again. The two big signings of the summer thus far have been Matheus Cunha from Wolves and Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford, two attacking players who have proven their worth in the Premier League and should, theoretically, be able to hit the ground running at Old Trafford. Marcus Rashford has joined Barcelona on loan, whilst Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof departed at the end of their contracts. Jonny Evans, meanwhile, has retired but will remain at the club in his new role as head of loans and pathways. The futures of the likes of Andre Onana and Alejandro Garnacho remain to be seen, though the feeling is that neither player is part of the manager's plans. At least, for the first time since Amorim took over, results have been positive. There is only so much one can read into friendly matches but United did emerge triumphant from the four-team Premier League Summer Series after wins over West Ham and Bournemouth before a 2-2 draw with Everton on the weekend. All that will be immaterial when the season starts at home to Arsenal in the middle of the month, but at least they have shown they can take on Premier League opposition without necessarily losing, which is noteworthy after suffering 18 defeats in the league last season. Betfair have United 22/1 to get relegated to the Championship, but that feels extremely unlikely with just one game a week and the arrival of reinforcements. Amorim's compatriot Fernandes has been vocal about the need to sign more players, and he clearly hasn't turned down a move simply for sentimental reasons and wants his side to do a lot more than just make up the numbers this season. One senses even Champions League qualification might prove a bridge too far for Amorim's team, but the aim has to be a clear pattern of play, some wins against major rivals and comfortable victories over weaker sides. Most United supporters would go without silverware or European qualification if there was enough progress to suggest Amorim can walk the walk as well as he talks the talk. The club simply cannot afford (in every sense of the word) to sack another manager and start again with a new man and a new system ill-suited to the players on the books. Advertisement This feels like a transitional season for United. The worst-case scenario sees the Old Trafford giants start poorly given their tough early fixtures and the manager's position become untenable before Christmas. With the new signings and a summer to implement his philosophy, though, Amorim will believe he can take advantage of low expectations and start to move the ship in the right direction. United are unlikely to end up at the top or bottom of the table but will surely have a more positive domestic campaign this time out. If that is not the case, the manager will be a different one a year from now and the club will be no closer to returning to the glory days of Fergie's time.

Birmingham 2026 impact programme launched at Alexander Stadium
Birmingham 2026's Impact programme 'Beyond' was officially launched at Alexander Stadium. It set out the vision for how the European Athletics Championships in Birmingham 2026 can act as a catalyst for positive, lasting change across Birmingham and the West Midlands. While Birmingham 2026 will deliver a world-class athletics event — the first time the European Championships have ever been staged in the UK — the organisers are also working in close partnership with stakeholders to support wider city and regional benefits, guided by a shared Impact Plan. 'These Championships are much more than a single week of elite athletics,' emphasised Royston Hoggarth, Chair of the Birmingham 2026 Stakeholder Board. 'With the right focus and partnerships, we can help build momentum around projects that leave a legacy long after the final medal is won. 'Beyond is our shared commitment to making that difference — with the Championships as a platform for change.' As part of the launch, UK Sport and the London Marathon Foundation have announced a £90,000 investment to support local delivery partners Access Sport and StreetGames. The funding will expand opportunities for young people to get active and involved in community sport - a first example of how Beyond is already helping galvanise real impact ahead of the Championships. 'The Beyond programme will continue to build on the legacy achieved through the Commonwealth Games,' commented Cllr Sharon Thompson, Birmingham City Council Deputy Leader. 'We will not only see the eyes of the world on the wonderful Alexander Stadium but also on how we use major events to provide an inclusive and welcoming experience for our city's residents and visitors. 'Whilst helping to shape the programme we have ensured that input from Birmingham community groups on their experiences around the Commonwealth Games has been considered, which is so important in ensuring we achieve the positive impact we're aiming for. "I look forward to seeing how the various initiatives progress and meeting those involved.'' The Beyond framework is shaped around three central pillars of providing community benefit through athletics and running, delivering an environmentally conscious Championships, and improving accessibility and inclusion for all. Activities aligned with Beyond include support for Daily Mile events in schools, diversifying junior parkruns, creating new apprenticeship and volunteering pathways, and encouraging sustainable travel for fans and participants. Each initiative is delivered by or in partnership with specialist organisations, with Birmingham 2026 playing a convening and amplifying role. Chris Moss, Birmingham 2026 Project Lead for the Impact Plan, said: 'We've built Beyond as a framework to connect partners, amplify great work already happening, and inspire new activity that aligns with our shared goals. 'The support from UK Sport and the London Marathon Foundation shows what's possible when we use major events to generate real community benefit.' Esther Britten, Head of Events and External Affairs at UK Sport, added: 'The hosting of major events has a unique platform to power positive change. UK Sport believes the right partnerships deliver meaningful, positive and lasting social impact. 'The Beyond programme and our collaborative partnership with London Marathon Foundation, alongside Access Sport and StreetGames, have the potential to make a real difference in local communities. 'The staging of the European Athletics Championships 2026 can leave a lasting legacy in Birmingham and the West Midlands and the nation as a whole.' The Birmingham 2026 team, alongside Birmingham City Council, the West Midlands Combined Authority, UK Sport, and other delivery partners, will continue to develop and signpost new programmes under the Beyond umbrella in the run-up to the Championships. 'Major events like the European Athletics Championships boost our economy and provide a global showcase for all the fantastic things our region has to offer,' said Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands. 'But the real win comes after the crowds and TV cameras have gone home. The Beyond programme provides an opportunity to harness the energy and excitement of this event and channel it into a lasting programme of positive change, which will deliver improved health and wellbeing for people across all our communities and change lives for the better.' Mike Diaper, Group Funding and Impact Director at the London Marathon Foundation, added: 'We're proud to be launching this collaborative funding with UK Sport, aimed at inspiring lasting activity in the West Midlands. 'With the 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham on the horizon, this funding is about more than a single event — it's about providing inclusive, community-rooted opportunities that will inspire children and young people to develop an enjoyment of sport and physical activity that will last a lifetime.'

Will Wright breaks silence on Liverpool transfer after 'earning opportunity' at Anfield
Will Wright was playing for Liverpool less than a day after his signing was confirmed. In what must have been a surreal 24 hours, he found himself making his Anfield bow after replacing Florian Wirtz, nearly finding the net to cap it all off. Arriving from Salford City, the 17-year-old is expected to mainly work with the U21 setup this season. But he was given a rapid introduction to the size of the institution he has joined. First and foremost, he got an early taste of the Anfield atmosphere, with the crowd in fine voice to welcome the new forward. But on top of that, Wright got a close-up look at the quality of his new teammates, featuring as part of the stronger of the two sides that played Athletic Club — alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah. READ MORE: Man United makes bid for Benjamin Sesko and puts Alexander Isak to Liverpool in doubt READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Benjamin Sesko wait, Alexander Isak boost, Marc Guehi battle Admittedly, it wasn't the best first impression of Salah, who skied a penalty shortly after Wright's introduction. When it was awarded, some wondered whether the teenager might even be given the responsibility — but despite the outcome, there is a clearly defined taker at Liverpool, even in friendlies. Even so, it must have been surreal rubbing shoulders with so many elite players, having spent his time up to now with the Salford academy setup. Having never even been on the books at an "elite" club, this was a brand new environment for Wright. Prior to making his whirlwind debut, Wright broke his silence on the move. He marked his transfer with a post on Instagram. "A proud moment for me and my family to announce I've signed for the Premier League champions!", wrote Wright. He shared this alongside a picture of him signing his contract. And after the match, he posted again. There was no caption this time, but three pictures: one of him replacing Wirtz, and two of him in the thick of the action. He may have been a man of few words so far, but those around him have been more eager to talk. And they only have good things to say. "We are absolutely delighted for Will to complete his move to Liverpool after a very successful season as a first year scholar," said Jamie Russell, Salford's head of academy. "He has earned this opportunity and we are excited to see how he continues to develop and progress. "It's brilliant for us as an Academy to see a player move on to a Category 1 club," Russell told Salford's website. "We've only been Category 3 ourselves since 2023, but in that time to see 17 players make men's team debuts and to have interest in a number of players from clubs higher up the leagues is testament to the job that the coaches, the staff, and the recruitment team here are doing." Wright made a senior debut for Salford in January 2025, featuring against Man City in an 8-0 defeat. He was in demand this summer, with Liverpool beating Arsenal to the move. The youngster will now put his faith in the pathway for young talent at Anfield. It won't be easy, with talented strikers like Jayden Danns already striving to make the grade — but Liverpool has clearly seen something that it likes in Wright.
