On Tuesday, Manchester United's official website unveiled the new season's home kit, which is designed with an exquisite pattern inspired by red roses. Star Rashford wore the new shirt and held a red rose, showing his romantic style. However, at the same time, a wave of opposition to the class-owning Glasha family is surging, with some fan groups even launching a boycott of purchasing the new kits.
The jersey features a rosy red color, incorporating a red rose motif and a stylish black V-neckline. Officially, the design is claimed to be inspired by a local bridge from the Industrial Revolution. But the fact that the jersey has already been shown off by a rapper in a recent performance seems to have leaked first.
Manchester United invited a number of men's soccer players, including Rashford, Casimiru, Hua Lani, Lysander Martinez, and women's soccer players to be the models. Rashford is holding a red rose, which perfectly matches the design of the shirt.
However, not all United fans were supportive of the move. A fan group held a demonstration on the day of the shirt's release, with many fans gathering outside the official flagship store at the Old Trafford Stadium, holding banners saying "Grassa out" and blocking the entrance, forcing the store to close briefly. The organization called on fans to go on strike to buy the new jerseys as a sign of their displeasure with the Glasha family.
