1996-98, MUFC Home Shirt

Umbro's design for the 1996-97 season saw a two tone darker red with a button up collar. The material was a lot more sporty (yet rougher) amid claims that it would prevent sweat build up. Perhaps this innovative production method or the long baggy white shorts which helped the Reds clinch their fourth title in five years. Eric Cantona retired at the end of the '96/'97 season and one of his signed Number 7 shirts later reached over £14,000 at auction. A further shirt also raised £9,000 for David Buust whose career was ended by a broken leg whilst playing for Coventry against United at Old Trafford that year. Is the pattern on the arms the same as the dodgy 1990 away kit?
