Manchester United are set to reveal their new Adidas kits for the 2024/25 Premier League season, but leaked images have left fans less than happy with the prospective designs.
The Red Devils have often worn shirts that create debate amongst the fanbase, with the 2023/24 Man United away kit splitting opinion.
While that design has been shelved following the conclusion of the Premier League season, Man United will soon unveil their new kits.
With seemingly leaked pictures revealing the colours and patterns the Old Trafford outfit will don for the coming campaign, the fanbase appears unhappy with the potential new away kit in particular.
It has also begged the question of how long Manchester United have left on their deal with kit manufacturer Adidas.

Man United fans react to “leaked” new away kit
The Man United away kit for the 2024/25 season appears to have been leaked and will be predominantly deep blue with an all-over pattern across the shirt.
It includes a v-neck collar, with grey accents to the badge, sponsors and the usual three stripes that have been associated with Adidas.
The sides include a lighter blue design that moves around the back of the shirt, while a devil is located on the neck.
Reviews have been mixed, with one supporter stating: “Bizarre kit that. Very much like an England T20 cricket shirt.” while another added: “It looks like a cricket shirt, awful.”
Some fans have still taken to the design though, with one adding: “Honestly I absolutely love it! Looks clean and retro and would look way better in person.”
Another supporter felt in the minority who has warmed to the design, stating: “Am I the only one that likes this?”
However, the majority seemed less than convinced as another supporter stated the shirt was “disgusting” while other fans chimed in with a joke about Manchester being blue – in reference to rivals Manchester City.
It is worth noting that, at this stage, Manchester United are yet to officially reveal their kits for the 2024/25 season, so the design could be subject to change.

How long is left on Manchester United’s contract with Adidas?
This season’s kit will mark the ninth year of Adidas reuniting with Manchester United to manufacture their designs.
The original deal was meant to last ten years, however, United announced a new extension of that agreement in 2023.
According to Sportico, the new deal between Manchester United and Adidas runs until 2035 and is worth £900million – or £90million-per-season.
It means that the Red Devils are set for 20 years of Adidas at least, with plenty more kit designs down the road.
