Manchester United will wear their blue away kit in the Europa League final.

The Red Devils take on Ajax in Stockholm next week and will be classed as the away side.

United wore blue shirts, shorts and socks for their first European final when they overcame Benfica at Wembley in 1968, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Bobby Charlton struck twice in the final 10 years after the Munich air disaster decimated Matt Busby's Babes.

In 1991, United were clad in Adidas white as they beat Barcelona in the European Cup Winners' Cup final in Rotterdam. United wore their special Umbro Champions League kit to beat Bayern Munich in 1999 and wore their Nike home strip to beat Chelsea nine years later.

Both of United's Champions League final defeats to Pep Guardiola's Barcelona came with them wearing their white away garb.

United wore Admiral blue for their first ever competitive match against Ajax in the 1976-77 Uefa Cup and were dressed in the same colour when they beat Ajax at the Amsterdam Tournament in 2006.

Ferguson's side wore a blue and black changed kit for their Europa League round-of-32 triumph in the Dutch capital in 2012.

Adidas has already released United's away strip for next season. The strip is 'inspired by 92' - using the same fleck design United sported for two years in the early 90s and which they wore in the 1992 League Cup final.

Adidas said in a press release statement: "Manchester United fans of all ages will recognise the bold graphic pattern from the 1990-92 away jersey that defined football shirt design for an era. Connecting the past to the future, the new kit pays homage to the historic design, celebrating the rich history of the club.

"The graphic design of the original kit has been reimagined on a black backdrop with white hues, with the classic adidas three stripes, club badge and adidas logo all in white. A crew-neck collar gives the kit a modern makeover, making it a jersey that’s as much at home on the streets as it is on the pitch.
