# Manchester United 2026/27 third kit leaked in official pictures

**Fresh pictures of the Manchester United third kit for 2026/27 have been leaked ahead of its expected launch this month. The final Adidas design features an off-white base with dark green and maroon detailing, alongside a distinctive Lancashire Rose pattern.**

Kit insider **@opaleak** has shared what appear to be official promotional images of United’s third strip, providing the clearest look yet at the shirt players will wear this season.

The predominantly off-white design includes a centrally positioned Manchester United crest and Adidas Performance logo. The Snapdragon sponsorship has also been altered, with only the company’s fireball icon appearing on the front rather than its full branding.

[Footy Headlines](https://www.footyheadlines.com/2025/10/adidas-manchester-united-26-27-third-kit.html) reports that the shirt takes inspiration from the Lancashire Rose and the historic Salford Lads Club. A special detail on the back of the collar carries the words “Manchester United Football Club” in a design based on the venue’s famous entrance sign.

## Manchester United third kit pays tribute to Salford

Dark green and maroon are used across the collar, sleeves and other detailing, while the rose graphic continues onto the matching shorts.

United have opted for the modern Adidas Performance logo rather than the Trefoil used on some of their recent alternate shirts. The overall colour combination is similar to the 2023/24 away strip, although the graphic and central badge layout create a considerably different appearance.

The shirt has already been spotted for sale in some stores ahead of its formal launch, which is expected during August.

Michael Carrick’s side have already started showcasing their new-season kits during pre-season. ReadManUtd covered United’s [5-0 victory over Rosenborg](https://readmanutd.com/2026/07/24/manchester-united-thrash-rosenborg-5-0-as-academy-stars-shine/) as preparations for the new campaign gathered pace.

The Manchester United third kit for 2026/27 has not yet been formally unveiled by the club, but the latest leaked images appear to leave little mystery surrounding the final design.
