Manchester United have drafted in Angry Ginge to help release their new third kit – which is inspired by the famous Salford Lads Club.
The content creator and I’m a Celebrity victor is a well known United fan and is from Salford, home to the iconic landmark a stone’s throw from Old Trafford.
He was spotted filming in the area last week with a host of first teamers including Matheus Cunha, Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez.
Third kits are usually released late in the summer, just ahead of the new season.
However, insiders have disclosed that the kit will feature a nod to the signage at the Lads Club, which featured on the inside cover of the 1986 The Smiths’ album The Queen is Dead.
Set on a green background it features two red roses of Lancashire and adorns the entrance to the red-brick building.
