The Red Devils are currently on the fifth spot in the EPL standings and it might be interesting to see if they can manage to secure a Champions League qualification spot for next season.

While Manchester United players are preparing for the return of EPL, their 3rd kit for the 2020-21 season was leaked online a few hours back. The radical design on the jersey has led to a divided opinion among the fans base with majority of them shocked. The kit has flooded the internet in the past few hours, and from the looks of the jersey, the fans' outrage could be well justified.

The 2020/21 Manchester United 3rd kit is a step away from the orthodox jerseys that have been donned by EPL clubs in the past. The jersey features a camouflage black and white pattern that resembles a zebra's stripes to some extent.

The sportswear brand Adidas has worked hard to give this kit a unique look, as the kit follows the "Dazzle Camo" designing scheme. The kit is quite similar to Nike's Tiempo Legend 8 boots that also followed the "Dazzle Camo" design.

Manchester United and EPL fans have expressed their views on this unique design various social media platforms. While some fans believe the kit is a valiant effort to step out of the orthodox boundaries others have openly rejected the jersey, some even calling the new kit "Absolutely horrendous".

Several EPL kits have been leaked before their official launch.

The Manchester United third kit is the latest addition to the ever-growing list of 2020-2021 leaked kits on social media. Major EPL teams as well as some of Europes' finest have had their kit designs leaked this month.

While most of these kits have been shared by fans over the internet, some have been leaked due to errors from sportswear brands themselves. EPL club Arsenal saw their home kit for the 2020/21 season leaked on Adidas' official Canadian website. Bayern Munich home kit was also found on sale in some of Adidas' retails stores in Germany.
