The Season in brief
The summer saw a flurry of transfer activity with Evans, di Maria, Chicharito, Nani, van Persie, Rafael, Cleverley, Lingaard and Falcao all leaving the club. Thankfully, de Gea's proposed move to Real Madrid collapsed at the last minute. van Gaal spent over £100m (net £35m) to bring in Depay, Martial, Schneiderlin, Darmian and Schweinsteiger, although only Martial justified his fee.
United struggled to produce anything like fluent, attacking football and they were criticised by ex-players, fans and pundits alike. An appalling run of injuries, the most serious of which was Luke Shaw's broken leg in September, hardly helped. They dropped out of the top four after a disastrous run in December, and failed to qualify from a very ordinary group in the Champions' League. Although van Gaal guided United to victory in the FA Cup Final against Crystal Palce, the trophy was not sufficient to save his job. Within days he had been sacked and replaced by Jose Mourinho.
The one highlight of the season was the emergence of Marcus Rashford, who scored twice on his début against FC Midtjylland.
The new adidas home kit was launched on August 1st 2015 to widespread approval from United fans. Indeed sales of the shirt from the club's Megastore on the opening day were more than double the previous record. On August 11th the new change kit was revealed with replicas available for purchase three days later. Finally on August 28th came the third kit, which the club announced would be worn in away ties in the Champions' League.
