Website Footy Headlines have unveiled leaked images of the club's new home shirt, and it is inspired by their first Newton Heath shirt.
United were originally founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, and changed their name to Manchester United in 1902.
While Newton Heath wore the famous half green and half gold shirts, manufacturers Adidas have reportedly adopted this in their style with two shades of red, with the three stripes down the side of the shirt.

United are currently in fourth place in the Champions League, three points away from league leaders Leicester City.
Louis van Gaal's side dropped out of the Champions League this week, losing 3-2 at Wolfsburg. They will now play in the Europa League next season.
After the Wolfsburg defeat, manger Louis van Gaal said: "I think it is a crazy match.
"We scored the goals, then they are cancelling [out our] goals.
"Still we had chances, but they have also chances. When we scored, they scored after two minutes again. Also the winning goal was two minutes after we had equalised, so we had the chance to win I think.
"We fought for the win, but with ten men at the end [after injuries] we couldn't do more than what we have done."
