The club itself teased supporters on social media with a post offering a glimpse of a jersey and the date of June 27.
The caption also featured an emoji of a red rose which is the symbol of Lancashire, the county that is part of Manchester’s history.
However, three days before the proposed launch date, Aitch took to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury. The 23-year-old, from the Manchester suburb of Moston, is a huge United fan.
During a break between songs in his set, he spotted someone in the crowd wearing a Manchester City jersey and told them: “You’re over there, over Man City. You don’t like me after all.” this.”
To a mixture of cheers and boos, Aitch immediately made the jersey, with the name “Big Shell” and No. 40 on the back, and wear it.
The red jersey has black details such as the collar, the Adidas three stripes on the shoulders and an additional striping on the sides. There is also a subtle pattern of the aforementioned Lancashire red rose across the shirt.
Turning to the City fan in the crowd, he then added: “Security! Can we get him out please? The man above City, can we get him out please?
“I’m just kidding! Don’t start walking towards him!”
Rolling Stone’s verdict on Aitch’s set was “Manchester rap giant rule the Pyramid.” United fans are hoping that Manchester football giants wearing this kit will rule the Premier League next season.
