Retro Manchester United Jerseys: The Classic Shirts by Era
The retro Manchester United shirts people ask for most are the late-1990s home shirt, red with a white collar from the era of the 1999 treble, and the 2007/08 shirt from the season United won the league and the Champions League in Moscow. We stock more than 30 retro United designs, from the 1990–92 away to the 2011 Wembley final shirt, including long-sleeves.
Retro shirts on FashionOwn are new shirts made in past designs, not vintage or match-worn originals. Here are the highlights by era, described from our own product photos.
