Kit details: What are we wearing at Palace?
Manchester United will wear our white adidas away strip on Sunday, when we take on Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
With Palace set to don their traditional red-and-blue stripes, a change was necessary for Ruben Amorim’s men on the road.
While we could have worn the all-black third colours – as we famously did in 1995 against the Eagles – the white kit will be given just a second outing of the term.
Hopefully it can provide us with similar fortunes as on its debut, during the 2-1 victory at Liverpool in October, when Harry Maguire’s late header clinched our first Anfield win since 2016.

The Reds’ unsuccessful streak at Selhurst Park isn’t quite as long, but you’d have to go back to July 2020 for the most recent instance of us taking all three points back from SE25.
Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford were on the scoresheet, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side moved closer to securing a UEFA Champions League spot when wearing savannah-toned shirts.
We’ve sported a predominantly white kit on each of our last three visits, as we did in the 1997/98, 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons.
The first Premier League meeting between the sides in the capital saw us wear the cherished green-and-gold strip, as Mark Hughes and Paul Ince scored to move United closer to a first title in 26 years.
Black was the choice in 1994/95, when Eric Cantona notoriously assaulted a Palace fan, after being sent off, and, 10 years later, for a less-eventful goalless draw.
Nemanja Matic struck a sensational stoppage-time volley wearing grey, in 2018, the season before a pink-clad United took all three points courtesy of a Romelu Lukaku double and Ashley Young’s hit from a narrow angle.
The 2020/21 ‘zebra’ kit looked the part in another dull draw, in front of an empty stadium due to the pandemic, before a blue-and-white number nodding back to the early-90s ‘snowflake’ effort appeared for the final game of 2021/22, with the incoming Erik ten Hag in attendance at Selhurst Park.
