Manchester United's away shirt for the 2014-15 season has apparently been revealed prematurely after a JD Sports shop in Bristol began selling the kit before any official announcement from the club. Eagle-eyed fans spotted the mistake and uploaded images to social networking site Twitter (above). @craigsmoothy tweeted: "@JDsportsfashion bristol are selling the united away shirt that's not supposed to be out yet@ManUtd@nikefootball" The official JD Sports Twitter account @JDsportsfashion replied: "Hi Craig, we've informed the correct department of this error - Thanks!" The kit, which is all white with a black collar, is the first shirt to bear sponsors Chevrolet's logo and the last that will be made by Nike after the American sportswear company ended their 13-year deal with the club earlier this month. United have since agreed a world-record £750 million deal with Adidas which will begin from the start of the 2015-16 season. Also earlier this month, the Red Devils unveiled their official home strip for the 2014-15 campaign, with Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Shinji Kagawa demonstrating a red, white and black design which boasts a new-look collar and a message written inside the next reading 'youth, courage, greatness. It is now available to purchase from the club's shop. What do you think of the away shirt? Is it the real deal? Let us know in the comment section, below.
