Can anyone identify this Manchester United shirt for me?

Hi all,

I've got hold of a Manchester United keepers shirt and I'll probably not appreciate having the 'proper' kit so I'm trying to find a little more about it. Image below

it doesn't seem to be the standard purple shirt and there is (what I'd say) a LOT of interest in it. Have I stumbled across a rare one?

Thanks for any help!

Rob

Looks like the third kit from 2013/14

As for rare no idea, I'll give you a quid, I need a new rag to wipe down my bike ;)

According to that site the third keeper's strip was only worm 7 times all season, so in terms of frequency of appearance on the pitch it was certainly uncommon. I guess that would make it less popular as a replica kit, leading to less being made and the individual examples therefore being rarer.

Shame it's a football shirt - I actually quite like the colour ;)

Thanks guys,

Looks like I've come across a few player issue shirts (woohoo!) this one is definitely third kit and I have the away third shirt to match + the home.

I never realised there was a difference between player issue and what the shops sold :/
