New Delhi: English Premier League giants Manchester United have finally unveiled their new home kit for the 2014-15 season. This news was confirmed through the official twitter account of the club.

The new design retains red, white and black, the traditional colours of the club. The new addition to the shirt is a white collar. Inside the back of the neck, there is a label carrying a message – "youth, courage, greatness`, which epitomizes the values of the club. United are the latest to unveil their home kit after a series of clubs showcased their new kits for the 2014-15 season. Among them were West Ham United, Liverpool, Southampton, Chelsea, Everton, Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City and Aston Villa. The picture posted by the club has Wayne Rooney in the center flanked by Robin van Persie on one side and Shinju Kagawa on the other. Hence, fans managed to get a clear view of the jersey for outfield players but not that of the goalkeeper as they were in the background. The club soon realised this and posted a photo of the jersey that will be donned by the United goalkeepers.

Let's not forget the goalkeepers. Here's one of the kits they'll be wearing in 2014/15. What do you think, @D_DeGea? pic.twitter.com/SXanJ94du0— Manchester United (@ManUtd) July 7, 2014

The red devils are in the last year of their contract agreement with Nike, who are competing with Adidas and Warrior to win the rights for a new deal when the current one expires.
