Manchester United

Yesterday, Manchester United debuted their new 2026-27 away kit in a pre-season friendly against Rosenborg. Featuring a blue and red color scheme, the design evokes memories of the club's iconic 2016-17 away shirt, marking a full decade of nostalgia for United supporters.

At the same time, Microsoft made its first appearance on Manchester United's kit as the new back-of-shirt sponsor, replacing Copilot. The change remains part of the club's broader commercial partnership with Snapdragon. The Microsoft logo is also expected to continue appearing on the back of the team's shirts in both the FA Cup and the EFL Cup.

In the latest promotional post for their new 26-27 away kit, Manchester United was spotted using an outdated version of the UEFA Champions League patch. The shirt featured the old starball badge with a white border instead of the updated black outline - a minor mistake that also appeared during the club's earlier home kit launch.

Back in 2024, UEFA introduced a redesigned Champions League patch with a outer black border to improve visibility on light-colored jerseys. Since United missed out on Champions League football during the first two seasons of the new design, the club's kit staff might simply still be getting used to the updated spec.

Supporters purchasing the newly released Manchester United 26-27 away kit have raised quality concerns after multiple fans reported fabric pulls and snagged threads on their shirts. Photos shared across social media reveal visible snags appearing after minimal, casual wear, with the textured knit material catching easily during everyday use.

The issue does not appear to be entirely isolated to Manchester United. Similar fabric snagging and thread pulls have been reported by fans wearing other recent Adidas releases, including the Real Madrid 26-27 away jersey and several 2026 national team shirts. Kit enthusiasts point to the fine structure of Adidas' current kit material, which appears significantly more delicate and prone to snagging than fabrics used in previous seasons.

Neither Adidas nor the club have issued an official statement regarding the reported durability defects. However, supporters who encounter snagging or fabric pulls on newly purchased jerseys are advised to keep their receipts and contact Adidas customer support or official stockists to request a replacement or refund.

Images of the Manchester United 26-27 European training set have been leaked by football apparel tracker @KamilBerberler. Produced by Adidas, the new European training collection introduces a clean design in blue with crisp white applications. This blue and white colorway pays homage to the famous 1968 European Cup-winning kit.

We have six official images of the new Adidas Manchester United 26-27 away kit, showing the replica men's version and the kids' shorts.

The shirt features a blue and red color scheme inspired by the club's classic 1988 away kit and the nearby River Irwell. The official launch of the Manchester United 26-27 away kit is expected to take place on July 22.

Manchester United have officially introduced Microsoft Surface as their new back-of-shirt sponsor starting from the 26-27 season. The new branding replaces Microsoft Copilot, which previously featured on the back of the jerseys during the past two campaigns. The back-of-shirt placement comes as part of the club's ongoing primary shirt sponsorship deal with Snapdragon, which grants Qualcomm the right to nominate partner brands for secondary kit positioning.

The Microsoft Surface branding, featuring the company's four-color square logo alongside white typography, sits directly beneath the squad numbers.

Unfortunately, this colorful logo totally mismatches with the rest of the kit, resulting in an cheap-looking appearance.

It was debuted on-pitch during Manchester United's pre-season fixtures, including matches in their new blue 26-27 away kit. For the upcoming 26-27 campaign, the logo will appear on the men's first-team shirts during pre-season and domestic cup matches such as the FA Cup and League Cup, while remaining absent during Premier League and European fixtures.

Additionally, the Microsoft Surface logo will feature on the back of all Manchester United Women's team shirts for domestic matches across the 26-27 campaign, as well as on select academy team kits. As part of the expanded collaboration between Snapdragon, Microsoft, and Manchester United, the brands are also launching limited-edition co-branded Surface hardware for fans.

Official images have leaked via @KamilBerberler showcasing the full shorts combinations for the Manchester United 26-27 third kit by Adidas. The shirt features an off-white cream base with a subtle Lancashire rose pattern, complemented by maroon collar and cuff trims alongside dark green stripes on the shoulders. A standout element is the centered alignment of the Adidas logo, Red Devil crest, and an icon-only Snapdragon sponsor logo.

Two distinct shorts options have been revealed for matchday use. The main combination utilizes matching off-white shorts with maroon leg trims and dark stripes. For opposition clashes requiring a contrast, Manchester United will also wear dark green shorts.

Manchester United supporters have raised concerns over potential quality control issues with the brand-new 26-27 away kit.

Multiple fans have shared photos on social media showing fabric pulls and snagged threads developing on the new blue shirt after minimal casual wear.

Other users echoed similar complaints, noting that the knit material appears more delicate and prone to snagging than in previous seasons. While neither Adidas nor the club have officially addressed the reported defects, affected supporters who experience thread pulls are being encouraged to contact customer support or return defective shirts through official stockists for refunds or replacements.

Manchester United's 2026-27 third kit has once again been spotted on sale in stores. Meanwhile, @jerseyreview has shared additional close-up images of the jersey, highlighting the special "Manchester United Football Club" detail on the back of the collar, inspired by the iconic Salford Lads Club.

Instead of the full brand name, only the distinctive Snapdragon fireball emblem is displayed on the chest, giving the shirt a minimalist aesthetic. This decision was probably made to better fit the central layout.
