Online shoppers looking to buy a Manchester United shirt in the early hours of this morning were treated to a bargain after they were accidentally sold at £22 each.

The club's official shop, operated by Kitbag.com, listed the new United shirts as part of their half price sale by mistake.

Some fans were able to buy the shirt for less than half price at just £22, with children's shirts on offer for just £16.50.

The sale was first spotted during United's pre-season win over LA Galaxy before it was closed down at approximately 8am.

And Manchester United have now confirmed that they will honour discounts on all merchandise sold.



"United Direct, the Club’s Official Online Megastore, which is run by our e-commerce partner Kitbag, sent out communications which contained details of an erroneous discount code to our fans around the globe - this offer has now ended," they said.

"United Direct will honour all consumer orders placed using this discount code, an approach which is fully endorsed by the Club.”
