    Haven't watched loads of Herrera but saw a few games he played against Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico and obviously against United. One thing that stood out was his work rate. Very good tackler and seems very capable in possession too. Can't wait to see him play in the Premiership!

    What a difference a year makes. This season, prior to July 1st, we actually have two new signings who are first teamers. And that's before LVG even steps foot in the place.

    Delighted to see work getting done early. The Shaw deal was apparently done before the World Cup, and Herrera has been on the cards for a year.

    I expect LVG to make a big name signing also once he has taken charge fully. Be it a Vidal-esque big name I hope so.

    Main concern is ridding the deadwood from the team. Nani, Young, Fletch/Clev and perhaps a defender if LVG wana to being in 1 or 2.

    Smalling would be my preference. Jones has it in his locker.

    we only have 3 centre backs, no need to sell any.

    A defender we have about 5 defenders getting rid of any would be madness.

    The away is actually the laziest designed jersey ever


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,241 ✭✭✭Vic Vinegar


    Is that the 100% official design?

    I don't like it at all.

    They both look like their plucked from the early 90's.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    Bad enough as they are, THEY HAVE TWO DIFFERENT COLLARS!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,071 ✭✭✭user2011


    The big gold and silver plus sign sucks. Could they not just do with the Chevrolet writing :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,292 ✭✭✭Adamocovic


    Yeah those pictures by the sounds of things online are 100 percent the new jerseys...still wished it was this one instead though

    Even if they did the logo the same style it would have been better.

    I reckon #mufc will sign at least two more players, a centre half and another midfielder, from the conversations I've had today

    Worst United jerseys I have ever seen. And that includes the infamous grey one (which kind of grew on me as I had it).

    I thought the club was going back to the old crest with the "Manchester United Football Club" writing returning?

    I wrote this morning that Shaw fee was £27m rising to £31m. Was subsequently told today it is £27m rising to £29m

    I know it sounds silly but the timing for the new kit and sponsor was perfect. New manager, few new players and a new kit to try forget about last season and get a top4 spot again.

    The new kit really isn't that bad, it'll grow on us after seeing the players wearing it over the season


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    Any word on the upcoming kit manufacturing deal?

    Hadn't thought about that before but you're right the fewer reminders of last season the better.:)

    Not 100% but think Nike deal runs out after the 2015-2016 season (Might be 2017-2018), Chevrolet signed a 7 year deal starting this season.

    Moyes would be out of his depth there

    I've ordered the two off all express all ready shipped, so hopefully have them in the next two weeks. All other jerseys I've ordered are immaculate just I'd be weary of the number and name on the back as they seem to easily peel. Missus ruined my psg jersey all ready as she put it on a high wash and ibra's name is peeling. Dunno why I asked to get names this time but other then that top quality looking forward to receiving them

    I wish United just went nice like this ( My Opinion )

    That's the nicest kit ye've had in years imo.

    Will look even better with Herrera and Shaw on the back if them!

    The new kit will look fine, even better when winning in it.
