If this really is the new Manchester United away jersey, put us down for 600

Five days since a 'new United jersey' story. Where has the time gone?

Manchester United, as we all know by now, are shifting kit manufacturers next season and hopping into a designer bed with German giants adidas. The two sporting krakens have been separated for over two decades now but are back in sweet, sweet harmony. We imagine their textile and design boffins are currently at work in a sleek warehouse, sketching and tweaking the 2015/16 jerseys but, as often happens in this online world, there are leaks. Well, if this is a genuine leak put us down for a few jerseys. If not, maybe adidas should change their current plans. This is some effort:

UPDATE: We have been contacted by the kit designer and it turns out to be the creation of an avid Manchester United fan, and not a well-heeled adidas employee:
