The Season in brief
After an outlay of almost £150m during the summer, United's early season form was encouraging, with plenty of goals and seven clean sheets in the opening eight games. They were unable to keep pace with Manchester City, whose victory at Old Trafford in mid-December extended their lead at the top of the table to eleven points. United gained revenge with a 3-2 victory at the Etihad, but the win merely postponed City's title celebrations. Much of United's football after Christmas had lacked flair and imagination, with many blaming the arrival of Alexis Sanches from Arsenal, in a part exchange deal for Mkhitaryan, for unbalancing the team.
United's defence of the League Cup was ended by a last minute winner at Bristol City in the quarter-final. Straight-forward wins over Derby, Yeovil, Huddersfield and Brighton set up an FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham. Despite losing an early goal, United came back to win the tie. They were beaten in the Final, the club's twentieth, by Chelsea. In the Champions' League, having successfully qualified as group winners, they lost to a very ordinary Sevilla side in the round of sixteen.
adidas produced three new kits. The home kit, launched on July 3rd 2017, featured a new button-up collar with the adidas three stripes across the shoulders. The change kit was launced on May 10th. A competition to design United's third kit was won by Aniello Carotenuto, and was launched on July 21st. The light grey shirt includes a silhouette of the 'Holy Trinity' statue. Confusingly, United registered the grey kit as their change with the Premier League, and the black kit as the third.
