Manchester United have launched their new away kit for the 2026/27 season today and have gone back to a classic blue look for the campaign ahead.
The new adidas shirt is now available at retailers including Kitbag, and United call it a design that "revisits one of the club's most iconic away identities."
United have historically worn a bold blue away kit, 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.
The new away kit did make an appearance during Sunday's World Cup final, with rapper Stormzy sharing pictures of himself wearing it on his Instagram story while attending the game between Spain and Argentina in New Jersey.
The kit includes the classic adidas trefoil logo, rather than the performance logo that is on the home shirt, alongside a red and white trim. It's on sale now at retailers including Kitbag, Fanatics and the Man United Store, with prices starting at £45 for kids and £85 for adults.
In launching the new away kit, a United statement said: "Manchester United and adidas have unveiled the new away jersey for the 2026/27 season, in a design that revisits one of the club's most iconic away identities through a modern lens.

"Featuring the adidas Trefoil logo, the jersey combines elite performance innovation with a strong connection to football culture, celebrating a look that has long resonated on and off the pitch.
"Built on a bold royal blue base, the jersey brings together familiar foundations with refined textures and subtle accents, delivering a design that retains the clarity and confidence long associated with Manchester United on the road.
"A central element of the jersey is the engineered tonal stripe running throughout the fabric, adding depth and movement to the design. Red and white detailing frames the look across the V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, creating a sharp contrast against the deep blue base.
"The adidas three stripes sit prominently on the shoulders in red, adding a striking athletic edge, while the club crest sits over the heart, paired with the adidas Trefoil logo, balancing tradition with contemporary design cues.
"Designed for elite performance, the jersey features lightweight, body-mapped 3D engineered fabrics that enhance fit and freedom of movement."
Man United fans took to social media to share their first impressions of the 2026/27. Writing on X, one said: "Absolutely beautiful away jersey, a beautiful summery blue, love it."
Another said: "What a beautiful away jersey. Manchester United have the best kit in the Premier League."
Not everyone agrees, as this commenter said: "Not that great unlike the 2020/2021 season."
While this fan said: "Finally a away kit that doesn't look like a training bib. This one's winning trophies in 26/27, mark my words."
