Help! Where can I buy a Manchester United replica football shirt for my son?

[merlot]

My 7 year old ds1 wants a Man U shirt with a players name and number on the back. Couldn't find anything on Man U's web site.

Also, a friend said that you might be able to get replica kits made up with your own child's name on back? Anyone got any ideas, would be much appreciated

Big JJB stores do lettering, merlot - you canhave anything you like on and if you buy the shirt from them I think the lettering is free. Boys' shirts are about £25.

NB Find out which colour he wants. There are at least 3 on the go at any one time.

should be in there on line store.

Also you can buy them preprinted with players' names and numbers from sports soccer, usually cheaper.

Man U website shop. Red is the latest strip. They will do the printing for you but the shirt is £30 and the printing is £10 on top.

(I know a bit about Man U shirts - there are dozens of them in our house. DS2 has an old red one, a new red one, a blue one, a black one and a white one !)

Many Thanks JanH, it sounds like a minefield (as you say I better check it out with him before I order it!)

Is your house full of muddy kit too - this weekend was a nightmare!

Glad to hear your ds has the right team Merlot!!
