Hours after securing their place back in the Champions League, Manchester United officially unveiled their new third kit…

The shirt is predominantly black like many of its predecessors, but Adidas have made the famous club crest a bright orange – the same colour as the three stripes and cuffs.

In keeping with United’s recent kit launches, the players have to be seen messing around with tridents again…

As can be seen in this short video, the shorts fade from black to white, with white socks to complete the strip…

As impressive as the new design may be, we can’t help feel we’ve seen something similar before…
