Adidas and Manchester United have launched the club's new away kit for the 2016/17 season.

The jersey has a base colour of "collegiate blue", and has been launched ahead of the home shirt, which is yet to be released.

It includes a "distinct dark blue mélange detail, with red accents of the adidas performance logo, three stripes on the shoulders and a red Manchester United crest".

There is also a 'Red Devils' detail visible on the inside of the jersey.

Alongside the replica jersey, there is also an authentic shirt available - as worn by the players, a long-sleeved version, and shirts designed specifically for children and women.

It is accompanied by dark blue shorts, and socks with the same mélange detail.

Manchester United first wore a blue away kit in the 1906/07 season and used it sporadically - interchanging with a white strip - for several years afterwards.
