Note how it’s two-tone! It’s bright, fire engine red on one side, and then darker red, moving closer to maroon on the other side.
Anthony Martial accidentally leaked the new kit a couple days ago when the French striker posted a promo picture of himself at an EA Sports shoot ahead of the launch of FIFA 17, with Martial in contention to be the cover star. He posted a Tweet with it, but then quickly deleted the post. Goal has a snap of it at this link though.
Manchester United themselves will unveil the jersey July 23rd.
