Manchester United 1985-86

The Legacy

Gordon Strachan settled into the midfield quickly after arriving from Aberdeen, forming a potent attacking trio alongside Bryan Robson and Norman Whiteside. Ron Atkinson tasked the team with improving on their league standing, while Mark Hughes continued his development as a primary goalscoring threat. Adidas produced this kit featuring the Sharp sponsor during a year where the side vied for domestic consistency in the First Division. The squad relied on the individual brilliance of these four players to break down stubborn defenses across a competitive league campaign.
