Manchester United have already released one of their 2026/27 shirts, which the team wore in their final match of the 2025/26 season at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils' home kit for the upcoming campaign draws inspiration from the iconic shirts worn by the club during the 1970s. It brings back several retro features, including:
- A classic red base at the center of the shirt
- The return of a polo collar
- Black accents, giving the shirt a more traditional feel
The design celebrates the shirt worn during Manchester United's 1977 Domestic Cup triumph, marking 50 years since that victory.
Now, over two months after the home shirt's release, the club appears set to launch its next kit — just 33 days before the start of the new Premier League season.
Well-known Manchester United fan and British rapper Stormzy has leaked a new shirt on his Instagram story, captioned: “@ManUtd you’ve seen it here first.”
The shirt is royal blue, featuring darker wavy stripes that become clearly visible when viewed up close.
Stormzy is seen wearing a white jacket over the shirt in the leak, suggesting he may have been part of a kit launch video. If so, the leak was likely sanctioned by Adidas and Manchester United — meaning an official release is expected in the near future.
It is a smart design, and one that Red Devils fans will hope is worn during classic European nights away from Old Trafford. With UEFA Champions League football secured for the 2026/27 campaign, Manchester United will aim for their first sight of the trophy in 18 years.
Michael Carrick's side played their first pre-season friendly on Saturday, and United fans will likely see the team wear their new strip once it is officially released.
