Under manager Alex Ferguson, Manchester United secured their fourth Premier League title in five seasons in the 1996-97 campaign, finishing seven points clear of Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. They also reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The following 1997-98 season was less successful, as they finished second in the league, just one point behind Arsenal, and were knocked out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage.
Key Players
The 1996-98 era featured a blend of established stars and emerging talent. Key players included goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, defenders Gary Pallister and Denis Irwin, and midfielders Roy Keane and David Beckham. The attack was led by Eric Cantona, who retired after the 1996-97 season, alongside Andy Cole, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, and new signing Teddy Sheringham for the 1997-98 campaign.
This is a pre-owned authentic vintage item. All kits sold at The Kit Dealer are carefully verified by our in-house authentication team, washed, and treated - unless clearly listed as brand new with tags.
Our processing time for orders is typically 1–3 business days. We offer express shipping for domestic orders within Australia and optional express shipping for international customers.
Your satisfaction is our priority, and we take care to ensure your shirts arrive in top condition.
Old size labels lie. A 1996 large is not a 2026 large, and years of washing move the numbers again. So we don't print a one-size-fits-all chart on vintage shirts — we measure the shirt itself.
Ask below and our store staff will take this exact shirt off the rail, lay it flat and email you the real numbers, normally within 24 hours.
