Stripes across the front reference United's original name, Newton Heath, which is from the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway. "There are many great moments in this club’s fantastic history and none more important than the year the club was founded, back in 1878,” said United's group managing director Richard Arnold.
"This shirt from adidas pays homage to the year we were founded, and marks 140 years of footballing success."
