Is this shirt, already on sale in stores the new Manchester United third kit?
The white shirt has been leaked by Footy Headlines, a website that specializes in these matters, and has consistently published photos of new team kits well ahead of official team unveils.

Hat tip to the Daily Mirror, which writes:
This leak comes on the same day that the home kit was reportedly bought in Kuwait– despite not being officially unveiled by the club yet.
“Just got the new Man United home kit, they’re out in Kuwait! It looks so good in person!” Twitter user Khalid Al Rabban wrote, alongside a picture of the shirt.
Earlier photos of the white shirt, re-posted here, and first published months ago, included the black stripes down the side, but they were much less noticeable. Now the black stripes are quite visible. This shirt could potentially be the Manchester United third kit, but the official unveiling date by the club and or shirt make Adidas has not been announced yet.
Typically that happens in late July or early August. You can also check out photos of the Manchester United blue away kit at this link.
