However, the Man United home kit was not released by a fan, rather LaLiga giants Barcelona.

Here's a look at the Man United new kit 

On Sunday, Barcelona uploaded a Barcelona vs Man United PES 2020 match to their YouTube channel. While the game was a regular PES 2020 affair, the thumbnail of the video featured an altogether different Man United home kit. The Catalan giants were quick to change that thumbnail for a different one. However, eagle-eyed fans were equally quick to make a note of the new strip.

The Man United new kit, which is believed to pay homage to Adidas' 1990-92 United home kit, had several features taken from the 1990s Man United home kit. The design shows black and yellow stripes on the red shirt along with a flattened-down white collar. 

Screenshots of Paul Pogba donning the Man United new kit from Barcelona's uploaded video are making the rounds on the internet with fans convinced it will be the Man United home kit for the 2020-21 season.
