Manchester United fans spot same issue as 21/22 away kit launched

Manchester United have officially launched their new away kit for the upcoming 2021/22 season.

The club will wear a vibrant light blue and white design away from home next season with red detailing completing the shirt - which pays homage to the iconic 1990/92 release.

The new jersey is available to buy now from the usual sources including the official Man Utd online store and sports retail sites such as Kitbag.

United showcased a series of promotional images as part of the official unveiling on Friday morning which showed the likes of Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho and Daniel James modelling the new shirt.

Taking to social media United fans seemed to be in favour of the retro vibes associated with the away top, although they did have issue with one thing - the blue shorts.

United's away strip in the early 90s also used a block of blue on the shorts design, but supporters do not believe this has aged well thirty years on.

A controversial design

Short of perfection

Not quite right

Not happy

A clear issue

Not feeling it

United were likely to wear their new away kit in a pre-season friendly against Preston North End on Saturday, however that match has been postponed after a 'small number' of the first-team training group tested positive for Covid on Thursday.

It could get its first outing on the second match of the new Premier League season when United travel to face Southampton and will be unable to wear their home strip.
