Update: Confirming our leak, Adidas and Manchester United have officially launched the George Best collection to pay tribute to one of the club's all-time greats, inspired by the 1968 European Cup final.
The Manchester United George Best remake kit pays homage to the Manchester United 1968 third kit, worn by George Best and Manchester United in their 4-1 win over Benfica to win the Champions League for the first time in the team's history (then called the European Cup).
George Best played for Manchester United between 1963 and 1974, making 361 appearances and scoring 137 goals for the club. The highest point of his career was winning the first Champions League in 1968, which helped him win the Ballon d'Or.
