Adidas Manchester United Authentic Third Jersey

Adidas Manchester United 3rd Authentic Jersey

The Manchester United 3rd Authentic Jersey is the player-specification version of Manchester United’s third shirt, designed to be worn by the players on the pitch during the 2026/27 season. It combines a slim performance fit with adidas CLIMACOOL+ technology and lightweight, breathable materials, making it the choice for supporters who want the closest version to the jersey used at the highest level.

The design draws directly on Manchester itself. An ivory base is paired with maroon accents inspired by the city’s distinctive red-brick walls, while green adidas three stripes reference colours found across Manchester. A hand-drawn design and back-neck sign-off add further detail connecting the shirt to the club’s roots and the wider Manchester community.

As an Authentic jersey, performance is central to the construction. adidas CLIMACOOL+ technology provides sweat-wicking and quick-drying properties designed to help keep the wearer cool and dry during demanding activity. The materials also allow air to circulate, supporting comfort when body temperature rises.

The jersey uses transfer knit jacquard fabric made from 100% recycled polyester and has a slim fit for a streamlined profile. A traditional crew neck completes the construction.
