Get it on: Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and Rio
Ferdinand pose in the new United strip
Manchester United’s stars have unveiled their new
away kit as the deposed Premier League champions stepped up another
gear in their preparations for the 2012-2013
season.
The Nike strip is all-white with a red trim to the sleeves
and neck, tapering down to a two-button placket at the
neck.
The blue shorts share the gingham pattern of the new home
shirt, which has divided opinion among fans, while the white socks
all feature a red trim.
United previously wore white away kits in the Treble
winning season of 1998-1999 and during the Premier League
championship win in 2002-2003, and will hope this design brings
them similar fortune as they attempt to wrest the title back from
rivals Manchester City.
United are currently on tour in South Africa and the new
change strip could make its first appearance in tomorrow night’s
friendly with Ajax Cape Town.
United got their pre-season tour - which also includes
matches in China, Germany and Scandinavia - off to a good start
this week with a 1-0 win over South African top flight side
AmaZulu.
