Manchester United fans will see a change as the team will debut next season’s home shirt against Nottingham Forest.
The Red Devils welcome Forest to Old Trafford for their final home game of the current campaign on an as-yet-confirmed date.
United to Wear New Kit Against Forest and Brighton
Manchester United will break tradition and debut next season’s shirt at the end of the current campaign. The Mail report that United’s 2026-27 home kit will be worn against Forest as well as in their final game away to Brighton.
It’s become increasingly common for clubs to show off their new kits in their last home game. Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have done it for several years. Bayern Munich even wore their 26-27 home strip in a Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
The New Kit Design
United’s new kit is manufactured by Adidas as part of a £900million deal which runs until 2035. The red shirt includes a collar and is inspired by the Red Devils’ kits of the 1970s. It also includes Adidas’ classic three stripes on the sleeves.
Their away kit is set to be blue with white and red trim, reminiscent of their old third kit used between 1986 and 1988. Leaks show next season’s third shirt to be off-white with the devil symbol on the centre of the chest as opposed to United’s crest.
Carrick’s Future at United
Formal talks are yet to take place between Carrick and the club’s hierarchy, but 10 wins in 13 games have made him the clear favourite.
“It’s not about what I like or what I do not like. It’s not in my control,” Carrick said on Sunday. “Everything has gone so well, we know the situation and where we are. I am happy with where we are at the moment and we still want to get better. Let’s see what happens next. At this moment in time, it’s not something I am thinking about.”
Although United are facing plenty of unknowns between now and August, their new home kit is ready to go.
