According to the club, this historical jersey, donned by the legendary Busby Babes, featured reflective materials to improve visibility during early floodlit matches.

Adidas, United's kit manufacturer, has also incorporated cutting-edge technology into the new shirts as the on-field version features HEAT.RDY technology to keep players cool, while the fan version includes AEROREADY technology for moisture management.

Eric Cantona, speaking in the promotional video, emphasised the importance of what the shirt represents: 

"No matter your definition of passion or how you measure it, the most important thing that counts is not just what's on the back of the shirt but what's in the front."

The club stated that the new kit has been crafted for performance and to instill confidence under pressure and was developed in close collaboration with players throughout the process.

As Manchester United look to return to the top of English and European football, they'll be doing so in a kit that blends modern technology with a nod to the club's rich history.
