The Legacy

Alex Ferguson took charge at Manchester United in November 1986, replacing Ron Atkinson midway through the campaign. Bryan Robson remained the central figure in midfield, often joined by the physical presence of Norman Whiteside. Gordon Strachan brought additional experience to the side as they finished 11th in the First Division. Adidas produced this away kit, which displayed the Sharp sponsor across the front. The team struggled to find form throughout the year, but the arrival of the new manager signaled a change in direction for the club.
