Manchester United's new shirt has been unveiled.

The Red Devils have been forced to keep their strip for the upcoming season under wraps until now due to the change of shirt maker from Nike to Adidas that is taking place this summer.

It means that whilst nearly every other Premier League strip is available, Manchester United had not even been able to officially reveal theirs.

The new kit was unveiled in a dramatic set of photos featuring Juan Mata, Morgan Schneiderlin, Ashley Young, Daley Blind, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Ander Herrera, Phil Jones and James Wilson.

The classic red shirts feature Adidas' signature three stripes on the shoulders and a white cuff on the sleeve.

Adidas agreed a massive 10-year, £750million deal with the club, the biggest in football, dwarfing Nike's previous deal of £23.5m-a-season.

Among those Manchester United fans will be eager to see in the new strip will be summer arrivals Memphis Depay, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Morgan Schneiderlin and Matteo Darmian. Meanwhile, Sergio Romero will wear the new keeper kit.
