Adidas, you can do so much better.

Manchester United fans have rightly been enjoying the stylish fruits of their reunion with kitmaker Adidas, but if these pictures are accurate, the bucks might stop being spent when it comes to next year’s pre-match jersey.

(Yes, that’s the top specially used during pre-match warm-ups)

The top starts off all right, in United’s traditional red with the famous three stripes along the shoulders, but once you get below the chest things go off the rails, with the words ‘Man United’ adorning the rest of the jersey.

To make matters worse, the back is completely blank.

Much better, though, is the rumoured training top, in classic white with red detail and a red and blue stripe at the bottom.
