This morning, Manchester United revealed their home strip for the 2024/2025 campaign, featuring new front-of-shirt sponsor Snapdragon.
As is always the case, numerous players from both the men’s and women’s teams were called upon to model the kit.
One image in particular that went down well with supporters was a recreation of Alejandro Garnacho’s iconic goal celebration from last season when he took to the advertising boards on the sidelines with fellow youngsters Rasmus Hojlund and Kobbie Mainoo on either side of him.

Since the announcement, eagle-eyed fans have taken to social media in belief that the club have dropped one major hint regarding a potential signing; Sofyan Amrabat has been snapped in the new home shirt and had his picture updated on the official website, despite his loan deal expiring yesterday.

INEOS yet to make a concrete decision on Amrabat’s future
United have had the option of making the Moroccan’s transfer permanent ever since he signed on deadline day last September. Reports across the term have suggested they would ultimately opt against activating his £21.4 million buy clause. However, his stellar and spirited shift in the FA Cup final may have convinced INEOS chiefs of his abilities.
Of course, Amrabat’s inclusion in the squad list may just be a technicality, as the Reds are yet to formally confirm his return to Fiorentina. Still, it’s certainly something worth keeping an eye on.
