Manchester United reveal pink away shirt

Manchester United have finally got around to revealing their new away kit for the 2018-19 season and it's certainly an eye-catcher.

Unveiled the day after United's embarrassing home defeat against Tottenham, the new away shirt is resplendent in dusky pink.

The shirt is actually an homage to a now-defunct newspaper, "The Football Pink," which was a staple of the post-match scene in Manchester for many decades.

In the days before smartphones and instant internet access, fans bought The Pink -- published around an hour after the final whistle -- to read up on the day's football results.

A worthy gesture from United, but we suspect that won't stop the jersey from splitting fan opinion right down the middle.
