United’s kits have been made by Adidas since 2014, when they themselves replaced Macron. In that period, United were promoted from League One to the Premier League within three seasons before being relegated again last year.
As we revealed, officials at Bramall Lane are keen to strike a deal which covers every club within the United World network – including United, Beerschot in Belgium and clubs in France, India and Dubai.
Adidas have produced a number of home and away shirts for United since they began working together, and some third kits too for when their normal red and white stripes and away jerseys would cause a kit clash.
But which of their efforts have been the best, and which are best forgotten and consigned to history? We tasked our man Danny Hall to go through all United’s Adidas kits and rank them, from worst to best.

A superb effort. Good stripe width, nice black pinstripes and sleeves. Would score highly anyway but especially with memories of THAT goal Photo: Simon Bellis

United getting automatically promoted to the top flight in a season with a luminous away shirt, with Chris Wilder involved? This effort gave off serious 1990 vibes, with iconic moments such as Chris Basham’s goal at Leeds for good measure Photo: Simon Bellis

But this home effort just pips it. Deeper red stripes, black details amongst the red and white, relatively-unobtrusive sponsor. And STRIPES ON THE BACK. (Did we mention that?) Photo: Jamie Tyerman
