Female Manchester United Fans Support New Ladies Kit Amid 'Sexist' Claims

Manchester United released their new kit at the weekend, and the female version of the shirt caused quite a stir. 

The low neckline caused some people on social media to blast the top as "sexist."

Publications such as the Daily Mail, the Mirror and the Independent all ran stories about the supposed "sexist" nature of the shirt. 

However, Manchester Evening News asked its readers for their opinions, and it seems the vast majority did not consider the kit sexist at all. 

Heather Chidgey wrote on the paper's Facebook page, "How ridiculous. This shirt is lovely. Wish my team did one like that. As some people have already said, if you don't want cleavage, buy the men's shirt."

Meanwhile, Natalie Dickinson posted a photograph (the one seen at the top of the page) with the message:

"

I love my shirt. Makes a nice change as I usually feel like I'm being strangled by tshirts/football shirts. Those moaning are the girls with no boobs to fill it. It's actually quite flattering and it's not as it they don't have the choice of buying a men's one instead.

"

In classic modern media style, there was a backlash to the shirt, and now we have a backlash to the backlash.

What do you think?
