However, Adidas's new partnership with the Red Devils are off to a rocky start – the women's design, which is a replica of the men's, but with a low plunging neck line, has come under heavy scrutiny on social media

The jersey on the left is designed for women while the jersey on the right is designed for men.

The neckline is much lower compared to the mens.

Twitter user @manutdgirl was among the first few to notice the difference

Seriously @adidas?! why is the V neck so low compared with mens one? Some of us don't like to show cleavage. @ManUtd pic.twitter.com/km4nOPs0nK

This is really irritating because the men's fits differently. Will have to settle for the mens I guess. @adidas @ManUtd not impressed at all

— Helin (@MUnitedGirl) August 1, 2015

She also pointed out that Nike, who have made Manchester United's jersey for the past 13 seasons had a more 'modest' design to its jerseys

For those asking, @nikefootball ladies kit;perfect fit, exactly same design as mens &modest.Take note @adidasfootball pic.twitter.com/g4LiaPML7B

Many agreed the jersey was showing too much skin

@MUnitedGirl @adidas @ManUtd …version because it fits us better, but just can't stand the cleavage.

@Lar7aOlivier @MUnitedGirl I'm going men's sadly. Can't be having that cut.

@MUnitedGirl @adidas This is a disgrace. Women can't even wear normal looking football shirts these days? FML. Looks nothing like the men's.

But some didn't feel the same way

I don't think the Women's version @ManUtd @Adidas home Jersey is sexist. If you don't like it, buy the men's Jersey.To each his own simply!

Adidas has defended the design, saying they took to account what fans would want to wear

And the award for 'Best Man Utd Fan' goes to this guy…
