Manchester United's new third kit 'leaked' during live stream

Manchester United's new third kit for the 2022/23 season appears to have been leaked during a TikTok stream.

The expectation and excitement for fans ahead of the release of a team's new football kit has grown bigger and bigger each year. Clubs plan meticulously ahead of the launch of their brand new shirts - how to announce it, where to make the announcement and exactly when to release it to optimise sales.

There is just over a week to go until United's Premier League curtain-raiser with Brighton at Old Trafford on August 7. The excitement is building for fans and many of them have already dipped into their pockets to spend their hard-earned money on the new home and away kits that have already been released by the club.

United just have the release of their third kit to go ahead of the new season. Third kits typically provide clubs with a chance to do something a bit more abstract - they are of course, at the heart of things, designed to prevent colour clashes with opposing teams after all.

In a bizarre turn of events - it appears that United's brand new third kit has been 'leaked' online. Streamer Edwin Castro took to TikTok on Thursday night to 'go live' to his hundreds of thousands of followers, although this time his appearance was rather different.

Dressed in a bright green top - it appeared that Castro had just revealed to the world the brand new Manchester United third kit for the 2022/23 season. Although this has not been confirmed by the club - the live stream had the following caption attached to the video: "NEW UNRELEASED MANCHESTER UNITED 3RD SHIRT!"

The bright jersey tallies with a report from renowned kit leakers Footy Headlines, which was published
