Manchester United unveiled a new season jersey styled after the 1970s, a period symbolizing the club's golden era.

The UK's "The Sun" reported on the 15th (Korea time) that Manchester United revealed its 2026–2027 home jersey through its official club store, paying homage to the "iconic 1970s style and FA Cup victory."

The new jersey features a modern reinterpretation of the collar and sleeve-end designs used in the 1970s. Manchester United explained that the design "pays tribute to the club's traditions while instilling pride in both players and fans."

The official website featured key players such as Brian Mbemba, Leny Yoro, and Mateus Cunha as models. The jersey is priced at 120 pounds (approximately 240,000 won).

Fans' reactions to the new jersey have been enthusiastic. On social media (SNS), supporters praised Adidas, the jersey manufacturer, with comments like "a design for the ages," "you can feel the class," and "they will win the Premier League wearing this jersey."

Manchester United signed a jersey sponsorship extension deal with Adidas in 2023, worth a total of 900 million pounds (approximately 1.8 trillion won), valid until 2035. Through this contract, the club is guaranteed a minimum revenue of 90 million pounds (approximately 180 billion won) per season.

Meanwhile, Manchester United enjoyed a successful season under interim manager Michael Carrick, who took charge midway through the campaign. Under Carrick's leadership, the team secured 10 wins in 15 English Premier League (EPL) matches, staging a strong comeback. They suffered just two defeats. Currently, Manchester United has climbed to third place in the EPL and has already secured qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League (UCL).

UK local media reported that the club's leadership has officially begun negotiations to appoint manager Carrick as the permanent head coach.
