Manchester United will stop wearing their controversial away kit for the rest of the season because of one simple reason.
On Saturday Man United dropped points for the 14th time this season by drawing 1-1 away at strugglers Brentford.
Mason Mount thought he had snatched a win for Erik ten Hag's side when he broke the deadlock in the sixth minute of injury time, but Kristoffer Ajer rescued a point for the hosts with practically the final kick of the game.

United were wearing their green and white striped away kit for what appears to be the final time.
The kit received a mixed reaction from United fans, with many feeling it doesn't truly reflect the identity of the Old Trafford club.
Others feel that the shirt is a bad omen, as United have struggled to pick up points while wearing it this season.

Those who aren't fans of the kit will be pleased to hear that, according to the Daily Mail, United won't wear it ever again.
That's because United's remaining away games this term are against sides whose home kits won't clash with their famous red strip.
Against Chelsea and Brighton in the Premier League and Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, Ten Hag's side will wear their home kit as there will be no kit clash.
For the trips to Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, the Red Devils will wear their white third kit, as the green away kit would be too similar to those teams' home shirts.

United could wear their away kit against Bournemouth, but history suggests United tend to wear white when playing at the Vitality Stadium.
Even if United don't wear their 'unlucky' away kit any more, they face an uphill task to finish in the top four and guarantee a place in the Champions League next season.
Ten Hag's side have already lost 11 league matches this season, and two more defeats in their final nine outings will set an unwanted club record of 13 losses in a single season.
