曼聯下賽季將身穿復古球衣
Manchester United to wear 1909 tribute kit next season - Exclusive

Manchester United will play in a historic strip next season - in honourof a player who helped them win their first major trophy.
Stars including Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo will wear theshirts, which feature a large white V-shape sash down the front.
The kit is based upon a 100-year-old design supplied by one of theclub's own players, Billy Meredith, before the 1909 FA Cup Final.
Meredith, nicknamed the "Welsh Wizard", is regarded as football's firstsuperstar and guided United to victory in the Cup and the league titlethe next year.
A century on, United's kit makers Nike have been asked to reworkMeredith's shirt - using high-tech materials rather than heavyweightcotton and with a white sash on a red shirt instead of 1909'sred-on-white.
Meredith, a former Welsh coalminer, earned £4 a week at United - thenthree times a miner's wage but just £298 a week in today's money. As asideline he ran a sports shop and became the club's kit supplier. Forthe Wembley final with Bristol City, both sides had to change fromtheir usual red shirts.
Meredith quickly arranged for a set of white lace-up shirts with a red V to be made, and United went on to win 1-0.
Meredith, who also played for Man City, retired from football in 1924 to open a pub and died in 1958.
