Twenty-time English league champions and three-time European Cup winners, the Red Devils have called Old Trafford - Sir Bobby Charlton's \"Theatre of Dreams\" - home since 1910. The club's modern identity remains shaped by the 1958 Munich air disaster and Sir Matt Busby's rebuild that culminated in their first European Cup ten years on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023\/2024 season, in which this understated away shirt was worn, was Erik ten Hag's second full campaign in charge and a deeply turbulent one at Old Trafford. United limped to 8th in the Premier League on 60 points - their lowest top-flight finish since 1989\/1990 - in a season disrupted by a brutal injury list and the backdrop of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's INEOS minority takeover. The Champions League campaign was a disaster: bottom of a group containing Bayern Munich, Galatasaray and Copenhagen, United tumbled out of European football altogether on just four points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the season is best remembered for, however, is the FA Cup. United beat Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley on 25 May 2024 to lift the trophy for a 13th time, with teenagers Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo each scoring inside the first half - the first teenagers to score in an FA Cup final since Cristiano Ronaldo in 2004. The Carabao Cup defence ended embarrassingly as the holders were dumped out 3-0 at home by Newcastle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBruno Fernandes and Rasmus Højlund finished as joint top scorers with 10 Premier League goals each. Højlund, a £72 million summer signing from Atalanta, also netted five times in six Champions League appearances, including a brace against Galatasaray on his European debut. Ten Hag was sacked the following October - the Wembley triumph the lone bright spot of his final full season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollow the club on X: @ManUtd\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55565554680184,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/ManchesterUnited2023_2024AwayShirt.jpg?v=1779205632","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/manchester-united-2023-2024-away-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
