Manchester United supporters are not sure what to make of leaked images showing the club’s new away kit for the 2021/22 season.
It’s usually this time of the year when we begin to see pictures that purportedly show the new replica shirts online, and this latest image shows a blue and white design with red logos:

Although there were a few who were loving the Adidas designed kit, many others were not so taken by the colour scheme:

Away kits tend to be divisive simply because manufacturers are looking for colours and patterns which stand out and get people talking.
This one looks like it will split opinion once again so Adidas may see it as job done. You would like to think that kit suppliers would be able to come up with slick, simple designs that please everyone but the trend appears to be going in the other direction for all clubs. You only have to look at some of the kits this season to see that is the case.
