The Man Utd badge could be set for a complete change next season if some leaked images today are to be believed.

Football clubs seem hell-bent on continuously changing their crest, a craze that has crept into the GAA world to appease the changing tastes of supporters. The current United crest wasn’t the most aesthetically appealing design we have ever seen, but the purported design for next season looks to be going back to a more retro design.

Gone is the yellow and the overall design that looks like it is appealing to the five year-old market, and in comes a more classy red, white and black offering with three stars to symbolise their European triumphs.

We think the leaked picture is a huge improvement and it will no doubt encourage supporters to fork out on new kit gear for the coming season.

UPDATE: So it turns out that the crest in fact was nothing more than a hoax. We, along with many others were duped into thinking it was a genuine design for the forthcoming season. We apologise for this very upsetting news and hope that you will be able to recover from the shock.
