Marc Skinner’s Reds secured a superb 3-0 win from last week’s play-off first leg in Spain. The return fixture takes place tonight at the Progress with Unity Stadium.
Naturally, United were preparing to wear red shirts, black shorts and black socks in front of our home support in Leigh.
However, Atleti have travelled to Manchester with only one goalkeeper kit (orange) and that differs from the originally approved yellow.
During this morning’s matchday meeting, officials decided the orange goalkeeper strip clashes with our red outfield jerseys and a change must be made.
In line with competition regulations, although the error sits with the away team, the responsibility falls to the home team to provide a solution.
