Manchester United’s bold and unique ‘zebra’ third kit for next season appears to have been leaked online in a series of new images – but fans are already fuming with the outlandish design.
The club have already officially unveiled their new home and away strips for the upcoming 2020/21 campaign.
Previous reports from Footy Headlines stated United’s third kit for next season would feature a ‘dazzle camo’ print all over the shirt, and the latest images appear to reveal its striking nature ahead of its official launch before the start of the season.

The ‘leaked’ pictures appear to show a prominent and rather unprecedented new black and white zebra design for a United strip.
The Adidas logo is stitched in traditional red while the United badge is embroidered on the opposite side with the logo of shirt sponsors Chevrolet placed underneath in the centre.
A special text and the Man Utd logo is also said to be included inside the collar, but United fans have shown their fury at the zebra design on Twitter.

One user wrote: ‘Just gets worse & worse for us f**…’, while another stated: ‘What’s wrong with this club,’ followed by two angry faces before adding: ‘Serious team/club are busy unveiling new players but my beloved Manchester United is busy unveiling jersey’.
Another Twitter user responded saying: ‘Our team has been humiliated many times over the last few years to force players to wear that s*** kit,’ while another added: ‘You have got to be joking? April 1st soon came round.’
Some supporters even encouraged Adidas to re-think their decision, with one writing: ‘ You still have time to rectify this mistake. Sit overnight and come up with a minimalistic clean design for the third kit – Concerned Manchester United Fans.’
Dazzle camouflage was first used in World War I for ships so that they were harder to track with regards to distance, speed and direction of travel.
More recently, it has occasionally been used on cars during test drivers, including by the Red Bull F1 during the 2015 testing period.
United’s kit would be the first notable inclusion of the design in football kits, however Nike did recently release Tiempo Legend 8 boots which included a similar pattern.
