Manchester United Women will wear their black third kit instead of their traditional red home strip when they host Atletico Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final playoff second-leg on Thursday evening. The kit change was requested five hours before kick-off after match officials deemed the orange goalkeeper shirt brought by the away side clashed with the hosts’ red outfield shirts. According to a press release from United, a yellow shirt had originally been approved for the Atletico keeper to wear. However, an Atletico spokesperson stated that United uploaded to the UEFA app, with approval from both clubs, confirmation that the visitors would play in the orange goalkeeper shirt, not the yellow one. Upon seeing the kit clash in person, match officials declared that a kit change was required. The Spanish side said due to having the kits pre-approved on the UEFA app, the team did not travel with both the orange and yellow shirts. Manchester United Women are without several key players for the match, including Anna Sandberg, Jayde Riviere, Ella Toone, and Leah Galton. Head coach Marc Skinner said Sweden winger Fridolina Rolfo could return for Sunday’s FA Cup fifth-round match against Chelsea. United defeated Atletico 3-0 in the first leg of their quarter-final play-off match last week in Spain, with goals from Elisabeth Terland, Melvine Malard, and Julia Zigiotti Olme. The victory placed United in pole position for a place in the quarter-finals where, if they are successful, they will meet Bayern Munich.
