Manchester United's kit manufacturer Adidas has defended its decision to give the women's version of the club's shirt plunging necklines.
Via social media, many supporters described the low v-shaped neckline as "sexist" after the kit for the 2015-16 season was introduced at the weekend.
However, according to the Daily Mail, a spokesperson for Adidas defended the design by saying: "Adidas provides an adult shirt which is a replica of what the players wear.
"Based on research from fans, we also offer a women's shirt as part of our lifestyle range of products. This range has a slightly different design and fit to give fans a choice."
The former Premier League champions struck a deal worth £750m with the global sports brand in 2014 following a 13-year partnership with Nike.
