The Legacy
Manchester United finished second in the First Division in 1987-1988, trailing Liverpool by nine points. Alex Ferguson managed the side as they competed in this away kit featuring the Sharp sponsor and Adidas branding. Bryan Robson remained the central figure in midfield, supported by the physical presence of Norman Whiteside. Gordon Strachan provided consistency in the creative department throughout the league campaign. Despite securing the runners-up spot, the club failed to challenge for the title as the season progressed. These players formed the nucleus of a team attempting to bridge the gap at the top of the English game.
