Images of the latest collaboration between Manchester United and The Stone Roses have been linked online.

Put simply, we think it looks mint, albeit very familiar.

Yes, just over a month on from the passing of The Stone Roses’ legendary bass player, Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield, his Man United look to be once again gearing up for another fashion collab.

Serving as yet another fitting tribute from his beloved football club, who already honoured the late, great, Manc musician at Old Trafford, it’s rumoured to launch later this year.

Leaked on social media via a TikTok fan account, the latest crossover shirt was supposedly spotted somewhere in Ireland.

Snapped alongside United’s current third kit for the 25/26 season, the rumoured ‘lifestyle’ jersey is apparently coming very soon.

This pair of images has seemingly confirmed the claims made by trusted online kit source, Footy Headlines, who specialise in sharing pictures of the football shirts, boots and more, who had already reported on the release in 2025.

As you can see, not only does the design feature a striking blue take on the band’s iconic album art style (expanded from an original painting by guitarist John Squire), but if you look closely, it also features the band’s iconic song and overriding slogan, ‘I Wanna Be Adored’, built into the crest.

You can see the rest of the existing Stone Roses collection in full down below.

We’re sure there are loads of other little details besides the twist on the badge still to be spotted, but for now, all we know is that the world-famous sporting franchise is continuing to capitalise even further on The Stone Roses connection.

Since the last batch of officially licensed adidas x Stone Roses merch quickly became collector’s items, we can only assume that this latest shirt won’t be the only new addition.

For instance, one user already commented, ‘Where’s the bucket hat?’

As for Manchester United, they’re no doubt looking to generate as much revenue as possible after having to pay another sizeable severance package following the sacking of Ruben Amorim – the question is, who is going to be next?
