Manchester United's 'invisible' grey 1995-96 shirt worn by Eric Cantona is put up for sale for an eye-watering £12,000... with 'extremely rare' kit only worn five times because the players moaned they couldn't see each other!

An infamous 'invisible' grey football shirt worn by Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has emerged for sale for £12,000.

The club played in the ill-advised strip for away games during the 1995-96 Premier League season, but they soon ditched the jersey after losing four out of five games in it.

Things came to a head during an away game at Southampton in April 1996 where the team went in at half-time 3-0 down.

The players complained the grey shirts made their teammates blend in with the crowds and they couldn't pick each other out on the pitch.
