HOW MUCH WILL IT COST FANS?

The new home shirt will cost fans £60 (or £65 for the long sleeved version). 

The shorts cost £30 while the socks are an additional £13.

In total, the full home kit - without a name or number on the back - would set punters back £103.

In the second year of their partnership with United, adidas has taken cues from the north-west side's illustrious history, with the two-tone red split design evoking the yellow and green two-tone Newton Heath kit of 1878.

United were formed that year as Newton Heath LYR Football Club by the Carriage and Wagon department of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway depot at Newton Heath.

The official coat of arms for the City of Manchester was the basis behind the idea for the honeycomb graphic that knits together the two red block designs on the shirt.
