Adidas have designed kit with “abstract sleeve graphic” of the club’s stadium
Manchester United have unveiled their new home kit for the 2025/26 season.
The club will be keen to put a miserable campaign behind them, having finished 15th in the Premier League table and lost in the Europa League final to Tottenham.
It means there will be no European football for United next season, further adding to the difficulty of rebuilding Ruben Amorim’s squad.
United have, though, already secured the signing of Matheus Cunha and he will be seen in the new kit come pre-season.
Adidas have opted for a “classic design” but with an “abstract sleeve graphic” inspired by the club’s Old Trafford stadium.
Different shades of red on the sleeve are said to showcase elements of the pitch, stands and tunnel.

The shirt has a black and white V-neck collar and three black stripes running down the shoulders, as well as a ‘Theatre of Dreams’ sign-off on the back of the collar.
Juergen Rank, Senior Design Director at Adidas said: “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 fan replica of the kit is available to buy for £85, with the on-field version costing £120.
Club captain Bruno Fernandes was one of the players involved in the campaign to launch the new kit.
The 30-year-old was strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia earlier this month and reports suggested that Al-Hilal were willing to pay him up to £700,000-a-week.
However, Fernandes opted against making the big-money switch, insisting he still wanted to play at “the highest level.”
“As I’ve always said, I would be willing to do it if United thought it was best to move on,” he explained.
“I spoke with Ruben Amorim, who really tried to talk me out of it. I spoke to the club, who said they weren’t willing to sell me, only if I wanted to leave.”
Fernandes added: “But I simply want to stay at the highest level, playing in the big competitions, because I still feel capable of that. I want to continue to be happy and do what I love most.”
