Plum details are added through the club’s devil crest, Adidas logo and three stripes down each shoulder.

Adidas Senior Design Director Juergen Rank said: “For this season’s away jersey we wanted to reimagine one of the club’s most iconic graphics of the past, and reinterpret it for the modern day in a bold new way through an updated colour palette.

“The rich purples work in harmony with the white base and metallic detailing, and we’re excited to see it on-pitch and in the stands this season.”

The fan version of the shirt will retail for £85, while the on-field version will go for £120.

United will hope to emulate the trophy-winning form of the early 90s as they look to get back to winning ways under Ruben Amorim this season, following a nightmare season in which they recorded a worst-ever Premier League finish.

Wearing the original snowflake kit in 1992, United won the League Cup when they beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 in the final at Wembley thanks to a goal from Brian McClair.
