Curious about what Manchester United will be wearing on the pitch against Burnley? Well, you're in the right place! Get ready to find out which kit the Red Devils will be sporting for their upcoming Premier League clash.
As confirmed by the club, Manchester United will be donning their white adidas away kit for the match at Burnley on Wednesday. This decision is to avoid a clash with Burnley's home colors, which are predominantly claret. The white kit features a unique lilac pattern, inspired by the snowflake design from the iconic 1990-92 away top. The team will pair the shirt with purple shorts and white socks.
This marks the first time in 2026 that the team will wear this kit. They've previously worn it in victorious matches against Liverpool and Crystal Palace, and most recently in a narrow defeat against Aston Villa just before Christmas.
While the outfield players will be in white, the goalkeeper will be wearing the yellow strip. The last time this yellow kit was seen in a Premier League fixture was in November, worn by Senne Lammens at Palace.

But here's where it gets interesting... United has a history of wearing various colors when visiting Burnley's East Lancashire home in the Premier League. White has been the most frequent choice across their nine appearances there.
- The first time they wore white was in 2014, a goalless draw that marked Angel Di Maria's debut.
- They've since sported white in more successful visits, including a 2-0 win in 2017 and a 1-0 victory in 2023, thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes volley.
- The Reds also triumphed in a white-and-black striped kit in 2021.
- Even the goalkeepers have worn white at Turf Moor, with Ben Foster sporting the unusual color in the 2009/10 season. The outfield players wore a black away kit with a v-shaped blue stripe that day, resulting in a 1-0 loss, United's only defeat at the ground in the top-flight's modern era.
- In a match eight years ago, Anthony Martial scored the only goal as United won in grey, and the following season saw them in pink shirts, with Romelu Lukaku bagging a brace in a 2-0 triumph.
- Martial and Marcus Rashford scored in a 2-0 victory while sporting a savannah-toned strip in 2019/20, before blue was the color for a 1-1 draw two terms later.
