Manchester United were fooling no one with the release of their away kit for the 2016/17 season.

The blue offering was launched less than 12 hours after defeat at West Ham left the club's top four hopes hanging by a thread, and even David de Gea seemed p*ssed off. https://twitter.com/adidasfootball/status/730306469606854656

The timing was one of the first things to be raised.

While some were quick to question the choice of players in the promotional shot.

David de Gea isn't the only one who might not be sticking around for the debut of the new kit.

But maybe it's a kit befitting United's new status within the Premier League elite.
