Manchester United vs Chelsea live: Red Devils in traditional kit of red shirts, white shorts and black socks for first time this season

The Red Devils have changed their colours this season, with black shorts blending in with their shirts.


They have worn white shorts and socks in the Champions League.

But United are most famous for their combination of red shirts, white shorts and black socks.

Although this season the black socks fade to red for around half the lower leg of the socks, making the socks appear red.

Fans may have started to worry the switch to black shorts has cursed the first team, after a terrible start, their worst since 1989-90.

United have worn black socks on and off since the 1920s.

There is a long-standing myth that United wear black socks in tribute to the Munich air disaster, but history has proven they did beforehand.

Jose Mourinho's side sported white shorts and socks for their 0-0 home draw with Valencia in the Champions League, suggesting that is the approach they will continue with this season.

Fans were split over how the kit looks with white shorts, with one fan even suggesting that it looks like they are wearing bum bags!

Not quite — but there was certainly confusion for Paul Pogba over who he should have been marking as Antonio Rudiger lost the Frenchman and nodded Chelsea into the lead.
