Manchester United confirm they have altered one of their newly released kits before the new season begins, after discovering it does not comply with Champions League requirements. The club makes the adjustment as summer kit plans are finalised and prior to first competitive matches.
The outlets report that the change is prompted by the need to avoid a rule break in UEFA’s Champions League strip regulations. While Manchester United does not frame the move as a sporting issue, the reports agree the club is forced to update its kit to meet tournament standards. The Mirror describes it as a pre-season correction to ensure compliance, while Manchester Evening News similarly notes the club is making an alteration before the season starts. Neither source indicates the change affects the club’s wider matchday schedule, but both link it directly to the Champions League kit rules.
