Photo: First pictures of the new 2022/23 Manchester United home shirt leaked online | OneFootball

It’s incredibly damaging for clubs when you consider how high profile most like their unveilings to be, and yet we’re seeing more and more now that supporters know well before the official release date what a new kit is going to look like.

On Monday, the reliable website Footy Headlines leaked the first images of what is believed to be the new Manchester United shirt.
