Manchester United 'sexist' female jersey row goes on

Manchester United's new women's replica home kit is pretty much as you'd expect.

Red, check. Manchester United logo, yep. Big sponsor logo plastered across the middle, that's there too.

But when a fan suggested its deep V-neck was distasteful, team spirit seems to have broken down.

Helin, aka @MUnitedGirl, wrote: "Seriously @adidas?! why is the V neck so low compared with mens one? Some of us don't like to show cleavage.

There were some fans who had a similar view. Including Faisal.

Maureen Smith on Facebook wrote: "Its not sexist. As a woman with a well proportioned chest, it is far more comfortable and fitting to wear a v neck!"

Another fan, Jules Stone, added: "Stupid, women's t-shirts should be different we are made different."

Puya was among those who suggested woman don't have to wear the shirt if they don't want to.

But Helin has responded.

After being approached by numerous media outlets, including Newsbeat, Helin posted a new comment about how the manufactures had annoyed her more than the cut of the top.

Saying many had "misunderstood" her comments she wrote: "Although i did think it was unnecessary for the V-collar to be so low, I was more disappointed about the fact Adidas failed to create an exact replica of the team's (mens) shirt in women's sizes."

She also commented on how various elements of the first team shirt don't appear on the women's version.

Helin noted the men's shirts don't fit women well, adding: "I without drowning in it or it looking like it's wearing me. Make and design male and female sizes."

Manchester United and Adidas are yet to comment on the shirt.
