Football team who top league for replica shirt sales revealed as retro kits also make a comeback
MANCHESTER United may have had one of their worst seasons — but they topped the league for shirt sales at airports. More fans bought Red Devils jerseys than those from the likes of Man City and Liverpool during the Prem season, figures show. 1 Liverpool may have clinched the title but among shoppers at JD Sports outlets at London Stansted and East Midlands, as well as, unsurprisingly, Manchester, their tops were popular enough only for fourth place. United's local rivals Man City ranked second, with England shirts third. Retro also appears to be making a revival, with 1990s England shirts in the top 20. While the Red Devils tops of Bruno Fernandes and Co took top spot overall, there were regional variations. Arsenal kit was the best-seller at Stansted and the Gunners appeared in the top five across all three airports, owned by Manchester Airport Group. Prem strugglers Tottenham were only eighth at Stansted, their nearest airport. They were the fourth-placed London team, also behind Chelsea and West Ham, and were even beaten by Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan across all airports. At East Midlands, the England shirt was No1. MAG communications director Adam Jupp said: 'Airports are always places where people love to show their football allegiances — whether that's fans travelling to fixtures at home or abroad, or international visitors coming to watch world famous teams here in the UK. 'Despite a dismal season, Man United's appeal, across the UK and with inbound tourists, appears to be as strong as ever.'
