Manchester United have unveiled their 2025-26 third kit in a video featuring Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Amorim. In a campaign dripping with nostalgia, swagger, and a touch of kung-fu theatre, Dimitar Berbatov has also starred in the role of a serene martial arts master to reveal what supporters are already calling the club's "best jersey in decades".

United kit providers adidas have ripped up the playbook with the new 2025-26 third strip, serving a bold reimagining of the club’s ‘90s glory-day threads. Built on a deep, engineered black base, the shirt is sliced through with sharp yellow detailing, a look instantly evoking the era of Eric Cantona’s collar-popping dominance. The flat-knit collar and cuffs, trimmed with yellow and blue accents, deliver that perfect mix of old-school authenticity and modern punch.

Former United striker Berbatov, famed for his calm, almost meditative style on the pitch, fits the “Sensai” persona like a tailored suit. In the launch video, he trains Bruno Fernandes, Lenny Yoro, and Amad Diallo in the art of precision, poise, and power; themes that cleverly mirror both footballing mastery and martial discipline. Ruben Amorim also steps into frame with a mix of quiet confidence, and the whole production plays like a football-flavoured kung-fu short film, equal parts style and substance.

If adidas wanted a strong instant reaction, they’ve got it in spades.
One fan, @KrishnaAnand_, summed up the mood of the United faithful perfectly, posting: "This is the best jersey in decades, and needs King Cantona wearing it. This, and the Black / Orange from 10 years ago, are United’s best kits."
@nmuntaka said: "This is the best I have seen with Berbatov as the Sensei…🥰🥰🥰."
@iamvkhil hailed the former striker simply writing: "Kungfu Berba."
