Man Utd 2022/23 home kit 'leaked' online and features retro collar design

Premier League side Manchester United are yet to confirm their new home kit for the 2022/23, although a design - featuring a retro collar - has been leaked on the internet

Manchester United's home kit for the 2022/23 campaign has been leaked online and supporters are loving the design.

The red shirt features a collar for the first time since the dreaded 2013/14 season under David Moyes, although it's inspired by the classic kits of the nineties.

The collar is white, featuring red and black triangles. The inventive design alludes to United's famous colour scheme.

United's leaked jersey is similar to the one they wore between 1992 and 1994, when the Red Devils won the first two Premier League titles of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.

The design will feel nostalgic to many United fans, remembering the glory days of club icon Eric Cantona.

What do you think of Manchester United's leaked kit? Let us know in the comments below!

The alleged new kit was leaked by Footy Headlines and United are yet to announce their official design for the 2022/23 campaign.

The Red Devils' current home jersey is still available to buy on the club's website.

United legend Cantona was famed for wearing his collar up, although the reason why he did so is not as exciting as many would've imagined.

"That was not a gimmick," the Frenchman told journalist and United fanzine editor Andy Mitten in his 2009 book Glory Glory!

"I put my shirt on. It was a cold day. The collar stayed up so I kept it like that. We won so it became a habit to play with my collar up."

When asked if United players would put their collars up during the 2013/14 campaign, defender Rio Ferdinand said: "There's only one person who should be wearing their collar up: Eric Cantona. And he's retired."

Cantona's No7 shirt - which has also been worn by the likes of George Best and David Beckham - is often reserved for United's talisman.

The incumbent holder of the famous jersey - Ronaldo - is arguably the greatest player ever to wear a United shirt, let alone the No7.

The veteran forward has been tasked with reviving the team's stuttering season, with United languishing in seventh in the Premier League.

"Man Utd should win the league or be second or third," said Ronaldo in a recent interview. "I don't see any other position for Man Utd.

"In my heart, I don't accept that our mentality be less than being in the top three in the Premier League, in my opinion. I think to build up good things, sometimes you have to destroy a few things.

"So why not - new year, new life and I hope that Manchester can be the level that the fans want. They deserve that."

On winning, he added: "What I can say is we can do better - all of us. Manchester belongs to important things, so we have to change that.

"I don't want to be here to be in sixth place, or seventh place, or fifth place. I'm here to try to win, to compete.

"I think we compete but we are not yet in our best level. But we have a long way to improve and I believe if we change our mind, we can achieve big things."
