Manchester United have revealed their new Adidas home kit for the 2018/19 season.

The jersey is a celebration of the 140th anniversary of the club’s foundation and features a train track design in homage to United’s original name – Newton Heath (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) Cricket and Football Club.

Richard Arnold, Group Managing Director of Manchester United, said: “There are many great moments in this club’s fantastic history, and none more important than the year the club was founded, back in 1878. This shirt from adidas pays homage to the year we were founded, and marks 140 years of footballing success.

“The train track graphic on the shirt is a reference to the origins of the club, when the team was known as Newton Heath (Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway) Cricket and Football Club. Again, adidas has shown how innovative they are with their designs – taking a moment from the past and reshaping it for supporters into a jersey which I am sure the fans will love.”

The new kit is set to make its debut when United take on AC Milan in the International Champions Cup next week.
