Description
Very rare Manchester United long-sleeved home shirt as worn in the Carling Cup-season 2005-2006, with Patrice Evra #3 on the back. It has ‘Carling Cup’ patches on both sleeves. It has writing around the club crest in the middle of the chest: “Carling Cup Final” above the crest and “Cardiff 2006” below.
The 2005-2006 Manchester United Carling Cup shirt is a distinctive red kit worn during the Carling Cup campaign, where United secured the trophy with a 4-0 victory over Wigan Athletic in the final. The shirt features the classic Manchester United red with a sleek design, incorporating Nike’s innovative performance technology of the time.
This season marked a strong individual performance from Wayne Rooney, who played a pivotal role in the final. The Carling Cup triumph was one of the few bright spots in a season that saw Sir Alex Ferguson’s side finish second in the Premier League, underlining the club’s resilience despite an inconsistent season.
Patrice Evra is a French footballer renowned for his speed, defensive skills, and attacking contributions from the left-back position. Joining Manchester United in 2006 from Monaco, Evra quickly became one of the Premier League’s top full-backs.
During his time at United, he was a key player in the club’s success, helping them secure multiple Premier League titlesand a Champions League victory in 2008. Known for his work ethic and leadership, Evra was instrumental in United’s 2008 and 2009 successes, as well as their 2006-2007 Carling Cup win.
Evra’s charismatic personality and fierce competitiveness made him a fan favorite, and he left an indelible mark on United’s defense during his eight-year tenure.
