In 1968, Man United made history by becoming the first English club [Glasgow Celtic was the first British club to achieve the feat in 1967] to lift the European Cup when they defeated Lisbon club Benfica 4-1 at the Wembley Stadium.

Before the game it was agreed that the Manchester club would play in their blue away kit as both teams' home jerseys were red.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of that momentous night, Nike has created a kit worthy of that great team, and taking inspiration from that first European Cup win and the Busby Babes, Manchester United will don the white and blue [third one] jerseys as their away kits.
