Manchester United’s third kit is going to fly off the shelves

Jersey, yes. Shorts, no. Socks, maybe.

Here it is. The worst kept secret since the NASA lads booked a sound studio in 1969 and started moving in Styrofoam moon rocks. Manchester United won't have to go cold the next time their opponents - we're looking at you Southampton - wear red and white. United's third kit, designed by adidas, has been officially released. As we flagged, earlier this summer, it is heavy on the black with a huge nod to the 1990s. https://twitter.com/ManUtd/status/636811688403173376 The jersey is a beaut, but the shorts... no. United, very kindly and conveniently, put together this totally subjective video about their third kit. That is some heap of jerseys they have to sign.
