Manchester United will wear their new away kit for the first time against Rosenborg on Friday after reverting to a classic design for the 2026/27 campaign.
When will United wear the new kit?
United will wear the blue kit against the Norwegian side at the Lerkendal Stadion in their second pre-season friendly of the summer, and will give it another outing the following week.
That will come when the opposition steps up a level for Michael Carrick's side, when they face Atletico Madrid in Stockholm on Saturday, August 1. With Atletico set to wear their traditional red-and-white stripes, United will again wear their new blue away kit.
Design inspiration
United have historically worn a bold blue away strip, but this is the first time they have returned to that style since the 2016/17 season, when Jose Mourinho was in charge. It was a regular strip during the 1980s.
United said of the kit that it's a "design that revisits one of the club's most iconic away identities through a modern lens." It comes with matching royal blue shorts and socks and includes red adidas stripes and red and white edging.
Availability
The away kit was seen for the first time during the World Cup final, when it was worn in the stands by Stormzy, but it is now available to the rest of the public. The kit is available now from Fanatics, the United Store, the adidas online shop and selected adidas stores.
