Good times are on the horizon for Manchester United fans.
Louis van Gaal has been sent packing after a disastrous two-year tenure and Jose Mourinho is all but signed on the dotted line.
The Special One is poised to usher in a new era at Old Trafford which United fans hope will sweep away memories of Moyes and Van Gaal with bucket loads of silverware.
So you’d imagine the United faithful would be overjoyed with the new jersey that will be worn under Mourinho’s revolution, right?
LEAKED: Manchester United 2016/17 jersey. Thoughts on the top folks? #MUFC pic.twitter.com/KdGJ51iZdh

No. You’d be wrong.
An image of the supposed new 2016/17 strip was leaked online and reaction was lukewarm, to say the least.
Hope these leaked images of the new united kit are fake. Horrible!

@BusbyBulletin looks awful, to be honest.

@BusbyBulletin Didn’t think I’d ever say it, but it’s not as nice as the current one.
— Paul Harrison (@PaulHarrisonUTD) 24 May 2016
@BusbyBulletin looks like a training top, don’t like it

@BusbyBulletin looks cheap. I prefer last seasons jersey.

@BusbyBulletin shit shirt.

Some fans weren’t keen on the logo…
@BusbyBulletin it would be nice if they could remove the logo

@BusbyBulletin meh.

@BusbyBulletin Neck too plain, sponsor logo far too big, hexagons on the colour change look terrible. Think I’ll stick with retro shirts…
— Gav Roberts (@Gav246) 24 May 2016
@BusbyBulletin still defiled by that hideous logo.

A few weren’t keen on the colour
@BusbyBulletin Don’t like the two-tone look separated by the ‘Blockbuster’ design. Still hate the gold symbol! Not impressed.

@BusbyBulletin Saw some kid with one on at Wembley, looked a bit pink.

And don’t get them started on the stripes…
@BusbyBulletin I could do without the three stripes down the sides…
— Mr.E? (@efcunited) 24 May 2016
@BusbyBulletin too much going on w the stripes and center design too close, don’t really like it
— Dave (@davekraft400) 24 May 2016
@BusbyBulletin looks weird. Stripes at the side but not on the sleeves. Turd!
— TheIncredibleMulk (@mulverine81) 24 May 2016
There were a few fans that quite liked it to be fair…
@BusbyBulletin think its excellent. Best shirt for ages IMO.
— Steve Pritch (@wilson2604) 24 May 2016
@BusbyBulletin looks like 07-09 jersey!
8/10

@BusbyBulletin if it’s true it’s a quality looking shirt Imo
