Overview
- Multiple outlets report Manchester United will wear the 2026–27 Adidas home shirt in their final two home league matches against Nottingham Forest and Brighton before its public release.
- The plan is to promote the new shirt and spur demand ahead of the summer launch in a high-visibility setting.
- Leaked images point to a classic red design with white and black trim, a polo-style striped collar, and the word “United” on the back of the collar.
- The move sits in a wider commercial context that includes Champions League qualification and a reported £10 million bonus from Adidas under the club’s long-term kit deal.
- United play at Sunderland next, with the new shirt expected to appear in those Old Trafford fixtures and again during a Europe-based pre-season.
