The Legacy

Sharp sponsored the shirts worn by Manchester United in 1986-1987, a campaign that saw Alex Ferguson arrive in November to replace Ron Atkinson. Adidas produced the kits for a season where the side finished 11th in the First Division. Bryan Robson continued as the central figure in midfield, frequently supported by the physical presence of Norman Whiteside. Gordon Strachan provided the creative spark on the right wing as the club attempted to find stability after a sluggish start to the league campaign. The team failed to progress deep into either domestic cup competition that year.
