Black. Discreet. With roses in the shadows. In 2019, Adidas chose to give Manchester United an away football jersey that was more Manchester than red could ever be – inspired by the city's industrial heritage and the classic Lancashire roses.

FOOTBALL MEMORIES
2019–2020 was the season when Marcus Rashford truly stepped into the role of United's offensive frontman. 22 goals in all competitions. Speed, direct play and a confidence that grew game by game. Before his injury in January, he was among the league's most in-form players.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær tried to build a new United around young talents: Rashford, Martial, Greenwood. Bruno Fernandes arrived in January and changed the dynamic. United finished third and secured a Champions League spot – an important step in the rebuilding process.
The black away jersey was used in several significant matches – including strong away performances in the Europa League. It appears dark and almost anonymous from a distance, but up close, the rose pattern that ties the jersey to Manchester as a city can be seen.
The wear on the number and badge tells an honest story. Not a shelf item. A used jersey from a season where Rashford not only developed as a player – but also began to become a national icon off the pitch.
