The Season in brief
José Mourinho's predictions that his squad was not strong enough soon proved to be correct, with three defeats by the end of September realistically ending any hopes of the title. Although United qualified from their Champions' League group, a 3-1 defeat at Anfield in December left the side nineteen points behind the leaders and resulted in Mourinho's dismissal. He was replaced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, initially appointed as caretaker manager but given a three-year contract on March 28th.
Solskjaer's positive philosophy had an immediate effect on the players and the side won his first eight games in charge. Beaten in the quarter finals of both the FA Cup and the Champions' League, United managed just one win in their final seven League games and had to be content with a final finish of sixth.
adidas produced three new kits. The home kit, launched on July 17th 2017, broke with tradition by having black shorts. A full adult kit from United's online store cost almost £135. The pink change kit was launched on August 27th, although replica versions didn't go on sale until September 13th. The blue third kit had been launched in May. In the Champions' League, United registered the blue third kit as their second choice kit, with the pink change kit as their third choice. United's socks had two component parts; a base sock for the foot and a seperate sleeve for the legs. Some players elected to wear the sleeves with white sports socks. The sock sleeves in the goalkeeper change and third kits have no United branding, and can be regarded as Teamwear.
