Two hundred Manchester United fans queued for 18 hours outside Northern Quarter store Oi Polloi to get their hands on a pair of Adidas Originals' The Stretford trainers but almost half were left disappointed.

Reds began queuing at 2pm on Sunday afternoon ahead of the Monday morning opening time of 8am, only the store was given just 110 pairs, leaving 90 fans empty-handed.

One pair, sized 9.5, has gone on sale for £699.99 on eBay.

An Oi Polloi staff member said: "We were only given 110 for the store and Adidas have sent just 800 to the UK. We sold out quickly."

United fans also received an Adidas Originals bar scarf with their coveted purchase.

Designed as a homage to United's 1968 European Cup win, some supporters have complained about the City blue shade on the limited £85 trainers, though others insist red does not look as fashionable on Originals.

Adidas have made just 1,200 pairs worldwide, though the demand could lead to the manufacturing of more pairs.
