Pulling on this Manchester United kit connects with something more than simply getting ready for a game. You are wearing a physical artefact of the club's heritage, not just a shirt. Every time you see that famous red, every time you feel the texture of the cloth, you will be reminded of the players who wore the emblem before you, the supporters who roared from the bleachers, and the many events that have moulded Manchester United into the worldwide powerhouse it is today.
