Manchester United are the current Premier League champions and their new home shirt matches their skill, talent and prowess. They have just began the new campaign and as th ey attempt to retain their illustrious crown, there is one man who everyone is looking at to create the sparks after losing many high-profile names during the summer. Wayne Rooney is arguably the most talented footballer in England and this shirt may not only appeal to united fans, but I also feel that it will be a brilliant purchase for England fans as it appears that hopes largely rest on his shoulders for the World Cup 2010.

STYLE

This shirt is a fantastic new, bright and innovative item that makes sure it is widely recognisable as a united top, whilst adding new features to make it unique. This shirt has a brand new template with the bo ld, black V across the front of the shirt, but not on the back. The nike ‘swoosh’ logo is eye-catching upon this V, to the top left and the familiar badge is on the right. The main sponsor, ‘AIG’ is strikingly white, across the centre-piece of the shirt. The black collar gives a nice border to the already professionally designed merchandise. On the back, ‘Rooney’ sits proudly above the number 10, all made with white lettering with a stylish black outline.

QUALITY

The manufacturer of this shirt is Nike and therefore, you can be assured that it is brimming with quality. The shirt is short-sleeved and comfortable to wear. The top quality of the lettering is also apparent and this together with the name and number printed, only endorses how much class this shirt presents.

VALUE FOR MONEY

I believe this shirt represents good value for money for fans of Man Utd or Wayne Rooney. The great design and comfort of the shirt means you will not be disappointed with it! As the champions look to add more silverware to their trophy cabinet, this year could be a season to remember and this shirt is fully equipped to provide you, and the club, with a memorable campaign.
