VIDEO: 'Kungfu Berba!' – Dimitar Berbatov becomes 'the Sensai' to unveil Man Utd's 'best jersey in decades' as Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes & Ruben Amorim also star in martial arts 'movie'

Manchester United have unveiled their 2025-26 third kit in a video featuring Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes and Ruben Amorim. In a campaign dripping with nostalgia, swagger, and a touch of kung-fu theatre, Dimitar Berbatov has also starred in the role of a serene martial arts master to reveal what supporters are already calling the club's "best jersey in decades".
United kit providers adidas have ripped up the playbook with the new 2025-26 third strip, serving a bold reimagining of the club’s ‘90s glory-day threads. Built on a deep, engineered black base, the shirt is sliced through with sharp yellow detailing, a look instantly evoking the era of Eric Cantona’s collar-popping dominance. The flat-knit collar and cuffs, trimmed with yellow and blue accents, deliver that perfect mix of old-school authenticity and modern punch.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
Former United striker Berbatov, famed for his calm, almost meditative style on the pitch, fits the “Sensai” persona like a tailored suit. In the launch video, he trains Bruno Fernandes, Lenny Yoro, and Amad Diallo in the art of precision, poise, and power; themes that cleverly mirror both footballing mastery and martial discipline. Ruben Amorim also steps into frame with a mix of quiet confidence, and the whole production plays like a football-flavoured kung-fu short film, equal parts style and substance.
