MANCHESTER UNITED supporters are up in arms over another “leak” – with one claiming “it’s not the same as the dreams we got sold”.
The Red Deils were beaten by Arsenal 1-0 as Leandro Trossard’s goal returned them to top spot in their title fight with Manchester City on Sunday.
However, the infamous leaky Old Trafford roof proved to be another big talking point from the game as it ended up creating a waterfall in the ground after a huge storm.
Workers were called in yesterday to try and fix the holes in the roof but now fed-up fans – whose side are stuck in eighth place and on course for their worst Premier League finish – have another reason to be fuming.
We revealed back in November a look at what some were claiming was United’s new kit.
We know that German manufacturer Adidas will still be designing it next term and a fresh shirt sponsor is being introduced.
TeamViewer has been the primary shirt sponsor since 2021 but from now on it will be Snapdragon after the American tech company agreed a deal with United earlier this season.
Supporters, who are desperate for something to cheer, have been itching for another look at what their side will be wearing once that deal comes into play from July 1.
However, after an X account named @Opaleak shared alleged “leaked” images of the new strip, some were left fuming.
The kit in question shows the Adidas three stripe logo going down each arm from the collar to just above the elbow, where another sponsor will be, then down to the cuff.

It is currently based on the side of the jersey, underneath the arms.
The Adidas badge remains on the right upper side with the club’s crest on the left one, while the Snapdragon logo is front and centre.
That came accompanied with white shorts, that have a red Adidas trim, and red socks – which seemed to annoy most fans who claimed it looked to similar to Nottingham Forest’s kit.
“This can’t be our next season’s jersey,” responded one fan.
Another said: “It’s nice but its not the same as the dreams we got sold.”
A third claimed: “Get rid of those red socks… we’re not Forest.”
Following that theme, a fourth described it as “Nottingham forest devil”.
Another declared bluntly: “Reds socks. No thanks! BLACK.”
“That’s an absolutely terrible shirt, it just looks wrong,” read another response.
A fellow supporter said: “The more leaks come out of this kit. The uglier it looks.”
As an eighth wrote: “This is NOT what I was promised.”
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Ineos have a busy summer ahead to get Man Utd's squad in order for next season. Below SunSport gives it verdict on how they should deal with the Red Devils flops this summer.
Andre Onana – STAY: After a dodgy start at Old Trafford Onana has proven to be one of the more reliable members of the squad this season despite being peppered with shots constantly.
Altay Bayindir – GO: Reports in February suggested Bayindir was unhappy with his bit part role at Man Utd amid interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray. If profit can be made on a sale then it should be done.
Tom Heaton – STAY: Veteran goalkeeper Heaton, 38, is a reliable back-up and is on a relatively small wage at the club. So long as he is happy it makes sense to keep him.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka – GO: Wan-Bissaka, 26, has never managed to make the right-back position his own. With his contract up in 2025 it makes sense to cash in now.
Diogo Dalot – STAY: Dalot, 26, has been one of Man Utd’s most consistent performers this season.
Raphael Varane – GO: If it wasn’t for his injury record there would be a strong shout to keep Varane, but costs need to be cut to allow the squad to be freshened up.
Harry Maguire – GO: Maguire has showed he has the right character to be at Man Utd but overall ability and desired profile are another matter, with Maguire too slow to play in a high line defence.
Lisandro Martinez – STAY: Martinez, 26, is second to none in terms of build up play. He needs a long-term defensive partner on the right side and to cut out the injuries which have plagued him this season.
Jonny Evans – GO: Veteran campaigner Evans could easily be on the stay list if he was only going to be a bit part player. But he has shown his advanced years at times this season.
Victor Lindelof – GO: Lindelof, 29, has been reliable if not unremarkable in his Man Utd career. He has one year left on his contract so should be moved on if a decent transfer fee can be got for him.
Willy Kambwala – STAY: He should be given the opportunity to mature for a few years behind a senior CB pairing before stepping into the first team as a starter or being moved on.
Luke Shaw – GO: One of the Premier League’s best left-backs when fit, Shaw has been a good servant when available. But alas that has been his Achilles heel once again this season.
Tyrell Malacia – STAY: Malacia, 24, was decent enough to earn some merit in his first season at Man Utd before injury ended his season and inadvertently led to his second season being a write off.
Sofyan Amrabat – GO: Amrabat, 27, looked like a world beater at the Qatar World Cup with Morocco. But he’s had an underwhelming season in England and his loan spell will almost certainly not be made permanent.
Casemiro – GO: An alarming physical decline has seen him turn from key star to burden. If a club is willing to buy the 32-year-old – who has two more years on his contract – then United should snatch their hand off.
Christian Eriksen – GO: Eriksen proved a useful asset and Ineos should look to bring in another player with similar traits, but frankly his legs have looked gone towards the end of this season.
Kobbie Mainoo – STAY: The first of the so-called untouchables, Mainoo has been a rare glimmer of hope in the Red Devils midfield this season.
Mason Mount – STAY: Mount can be given the benefit of the doubt until summer 2025 at least after a debut season riddled with injury.
Scott McTominay – STAY: McTominay, 27, has proven himself to be a brilliant plan B off the bench this season, and that is exactly why Ineos should look to keep him.
Bruno Fernandes – STAY: Man Utd’s best player since his arrival just over four years ago, Fernandes, 29, remains second-to-none when it comes to creating chances while his tenacity boosts those around him.
Antony – GO: There’s a case to argue that Antony may be the worst pound-for-pound signing in Premier League history. Despite some memorable moments he simply isn’t Man Utd quality.
Anthony Martial – GO: Ultimately Martial needs to be let go when his deal runs out this summer after an appalling injury record of late.
Marcus Rashford – STAY: As easy as it would be to say Rashford should leave the club this summer, it is difficult to look at the market and find many available players capable of scoring 30 goals a season.
Alejandro Garnacho – STAY: Another third of the untouchables trio, Garnacho has made the right-wing his own since coming into it. He’s a raw talent but has shown he has the quality to improve.
Rasmus Hojlund – STAY: A slow burner in his first Man Utd season, the 21-year-old has often been starved of supply which has led to him being unable to get the goals his movement and unselfish play often merits.
Amad Diallo – STAY: In the fleeting moments he has been on the pitch for Man Utd this season, Diallo has looked dangerous and exciting. He should be given a chance to flourish with some proper chances in the first team across a whole season.
