THE VITALS:

Team: Manchester United

Brand: Adidas

Era: 2018-19 (Used for the 2018-19 Premier League season)

Name/Number: Lukaku #9

CONDITION: VERY GOOD

This shirt stands in very good condition, albeit with some wear and tear and bobbling. Sadly, having assessed the crest and the Kohler sponsor on the arm; I am convinced that this is an inauthentic replica, and this discovery has been reflected in the price.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Small

Pit to Pit Measurement: 19 inches

Shirt Length: 27 inches 

Made in the Adidas ‘ClimaLite’ style of 2018-19 season; the dimensions lend themselves to a great, relaxed size small fitting shirt.  

DESCRIPTION:

Adidas done the unthinkable, as they radically altered Manchester United’s home strip; employing black shorts and red socks, the shirt was predominantly red as it faded into black as the shirt progressed, while the 3 stripes down the arms were also black. The season would be a mixed bag of emotions; on one hand, Jose Mourinho’s tenure with the club concluded abruptly in December, prior to that however, the club would upset Juventus at the Allianz Stadium in the Champions League. Following his exit, came Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the Norwegian’s arrival came with a 12 match unbeaten run in the league, and the now legendary elimination of Paris Saint Germain in the Last 16 of the Champions League!

The notable players that season were:

Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Ander Herrera, Fred, Scott McTominay, Paul Pogba, Marouane Fellaini, Luke Shaw, Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Matteo Darmian, Antonio Valencia, Ashley Young, David de Gea, Sergio Romero
