Relive one of Manchester United's defining 1990s campaigns with the Manchester United 1996–97 Away Retro Football Shirt.
Featuring a clean white base with contrasting black and red details, the shirt delivers one of the most distinctive away looks from the club's classic Sharp era. The bold V-neck collar and traditional Manchester United crest complete an unmistakably mid-1990s design.
The shirt was worn during another championship-winning campaign as Manchester United successfully defended the Premier League title and reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
The season also represents an important crossroads in United history: Eric Cantona captained the side during his final professional campaign, while David Beckham wore the No.10 shirt as a new generation continued to establish itself at Old Trafford.
Associated with Cantona, Beckham, Giggs, Keane, Scholes and first-season striker Ole Gunnar Solskjær, this classic white away shirt captures Manchester United at the heart of their 1990s rise.

Rec. Player Printing Options
Printing Recommendation BECKHAM 10 Best Printing Choice. A distinctive early-career Beckham combination from the season in which he wore No.10 before later becoming associated with No.7. CANTONA 7 Best Heritage Choice. Captain, Premier League champion and an especially significant option because 1996–97 was Cantona's final season as a professional player. SOLSKJAER 20 An excellent season-specific choice representing Solskjær's first campaign at Manchester United. GIGGS 11 One of the most iconic Manchester United name-and-number combinations of the 1990s. KEANE 16 A classic midfield choice strongly associated with one of the defining players of United's dominant era. SCHOLES 18 A highly recognisable academy-era option and the number that became synonymous with Scholes at Manchester United. BECKHAM 10 is the standout printing choice for the Manchester United 1996–97 Away Retro Football Shirt. David Beckham wore the No.10 shirt during this Premier League-winning campaign, making it a distinctive early-career combination from before his famous switch to No.7. Beckham made 36 Premier League appearances and scored eight league goals during the season.
CANTONA 7 is equally significant from a heritage perspective. Eric Cantona captained Manchester United to another Premier League title in what proved to be the final season of his professional career. SOLSKJAER 20 provides another particularly strong season-specific option, representing the Norwegian striker's first campaign at Old Trafford.
