Man Utd fans react as adidas unveil new home kit influenced by Old Trafford
Ruben Amorim is preparing for his first full season in charge of Manchester United and the team will hope for a fresh start in their new 2025-26 kit, which has paid homage to their iconic Old Trafford stadium
Manchester United fans have hailed their new 2025-26 home kit as "a classic already" and hope it will see the team's fortunes reversed after a difficult campaign in 2024-25.
The Red Devils could only finish 15th in the Premier League after a turbulent season under both Erik ten Hag and successor Ruben Amorim, losing a total of 18 matches.
United also suffered heartache in the Europa League final as they were beaten 1-0 by Tottenham, meaning they missed out on Champions League football next season - but the team will be hopeful they can turn over a new leaf under Amorim in their new strip.
The Adidas shirt is influenced by their iconic Old Trafford stadium, with an "abstract sleeve graphic" symbolising elements of the pitch, stands and tunnel.
There is a V-neck collar laced with black edges and a white stripe going through the middle - and the same detail is seen on the edges of the sleeves.
The kit also has black stripes running down the shoulders and the words "Theatre of Dreams" on the back of the shirt.
Fans have been left impressed by the design, as one said: "A bold, clean and burning red [kit] that screams power, pride and a new era! Eager to see the away kit." Another said: "Forever red. This one's a classic already," while a third added: "I really like this, simple but with just enough flair."
Another wrote: "Excited to see the new home kit honouring Old Trafford. Looking forward to the new season with adidas."
Adidas chief Juergen Rank said they wanted to design a shirt that paid tribute to the club's DNA, playing on their iconic red colours.
"The colour red is fundamental to the club's DNA. There have been many different expressions of it over the years and for this season we wanted to do something a little different, using the sleeves as a canvas.
"The abstract graphic stays true to the club's DNA while providing an innovative look at feel to an otherwise classy and classic jersey."
The shirt is available to buy on Manchester United's official website and will cost £85. For the 'authentic' version of the jersey, the price is £120.

Leaked FSG text speaks volumes about Liverpool's Florian Wirtz transfer saga
As Liverpool look set to eclipse their club record transfer fee to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, many fans may remember the leaked text FSG sent to Jurgen Klopp With Liverpool on the verge of shattering their record transfer fee to sign Florian Wirtz, supporters may remember a leaked text from Fenway Sports Group. The Reds recently submitted a bid of £100milllion plus £14m of add-ons to Bayer Leverkusen, and while negotiations are still ongoing, they remain confident of wrapping up a deal. The Merseysiders are doing all they can to bring in the 22-year-old Germany international. And his arrival would dwarf their previous transfer record, which saw them spend £75m on Virgil van Dijk in the 2018 January transfer window. Wirtz is widely admired around Europe and was heavily linked with Manchester City and Bayern Munich. His likely arrival is a statement of intent from owners FSG, who were often reluctant to spent £100m in a single transfer window, let alone on one player. Not long ago, the club's fanbase were repeatedly accusing FSG of being too scared to break the bank to sign top-class players. The seemingly imminent arrival of Wirtz is a clear sign that the purse strings are no longer as tight. It is a huge boost to Liverpool fans who were often frustrated by the likes of fierce rivals Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea comfortably out-spending them. In his early years at the club, former manager Jurgen Klopp defended the ownership in press conferences and interviews. But behind the scenes, the German was making it clear that extra investment in the squad was vital if they wanted to lift the big trophies. When Klopp arrived at Liverpool, the Reds were in 10th place and had an ageing squad. Unhappy with the players at his disposal, Klopp received an apologetic text from the FSG bosses. In 2021, Klopp revealed: "At the beginning I received a message from the US saying, 'Sorry for the squad we've given you.' But all was good I replied, it just needs time.' Two years after revealing that text, Klopp watched his Liverpool side be convincingly beaten 5-2 at home by Real Madrid. It was the kind of chastening defeat which prompts action in the next transfer window. The previous month, Klopp publicly warned that Liverpool will need to be more aggressive in the transfer window or they will fall behind their Premier League and European rivals. He said: "I believe in coaching, I believe in developing, I believe in team-building and using those things 100%. "But meanwhile in the world out there the managers are really good. There are so many good managers out there it's crazy. So they believe in that as well, and if they start really properly spending and do those things as well, then you cannot not spend or you will have a little bit of a problem." In Klopp's final summer transfer window they fully took on Klopp's advice, as they rebuilt their midfield by signing Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo for a combined £155m. After Klopp walked away, many were surprised that Arne Slot was only able to sign Federico Chiesa in his first two transfer windows. But after winning the Premier League, FSG have shown the kind of spending intent usually seen by City, United and Chelsea. The way in which they have quickly moved for Wirtz highlights FSG's proactiveness, and that they are no longer afraid to break the bank to sign a potential game-changer. Full-back Jeremie Frimpong has already arrived this summer for £29.5m, while £45m Bournemouth left-back Milos Kerkez looks likely to arrive too, so Liverpool are clearly looking to build on their title triumph from Slot's first season. And it's a stark contract from the text message they left for Klopp all those years ago.

BREAKING NEWS Club World Cup star is BLOCKED from entering the US with visa application denied twice 'over attempted robbery involvement' - leaving forgotten ex-Man United man to start
A Club World Cup star has been denied entry to the United States - paving the way for a former Manchester United star to grace the big stage. Boca Juniors defender Ayrton Costa is set to miss the tournament after his visa application was rejected twice for reasons the club did not disclose. Costa, 25, was named in an attempted robbery case in Argentina in 2018 but was granted probation in 2023 to avoid a trial, according to Mundo Deportivo. The case was classified as 'aggravated robbery in a populated area and as a group' and the record remains active and impacts his visa applications. He was also named in court documents as an accessory to a domestic violence murder for which his brother is the main defendant, according to Marca, but was never charged. Costa suffered a similar ban in 2023 while he was a player for Independiente, though that was not for the Club World Cup. His absence means that former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo, 35, is expected to get the nod in Boca's defence.
