Oddly....some of us Yanks do follow the premier league, my buddy and I both bought jersey's there when on my bachelor party, I am a United fan....he is a Man City fan, and was very happy to be able to find a jersey....although we did get into a bit of an argument in the store. :D
A city and a United fan .... Must make for some interesting conversations :eek:

Exactly, it's not the biggest shop in the world as it is. Imagine having every Premiership team shirt displayed, there wouldn't be much room for anything else! I'm from Manchester and a season ticket holder for over 25 years, contrary to the myth there's lots of us about. I'll never forget about 16 years ago I was in Epcot and wearing a Utd white (away) shirt. Anyway this family from Denmark approached me and asked if they could be photographed with me as they were big Manchester United fans? I explained I didn't play for the club and they said they realised that but wanted a photo with me anyway. To make things even more bizarre some family that didn't speak English had been watching and must have thought I was somebody famous (even though I wasn't and they had no idea who I was) as I'd posed for photographs with the first group. They used a form of sign language to request photos with me too! After I'd satisfied my fans I continued walking around thinking what a truly bizarre situation I'd been involved in :eek:

Anyhow, for those interested this is a good site showing all the United (and other teams) shirts through the clubs history

Nice one! You could have taken advantage of that and pretended you were a new, unknown signing! Someone apparently went around pretending to be Eric Djemba-Djemba when he first signed, although quite why anyone would have wanted to pretend to be Djemba-Djemba is a mystery! So good, they named him twice ;)

Slighty off topic but i like how Americans are proud of their flag . Britaian (or England Ireland Scotland Wales if you must) don't seem to be as nationalistic .
I completely agree, I love seeing the American flag nearly everywhere you go in the States. Unfortunately the St George's flag is used/associated with bad people, showing this flag these days isn't related to patriotism. But that's a discussion for another forum! :(

I'm an American but not a fan of nationalism. Can't stand that the flag must be plastered all over everything, as if we might forget where we are. Too many horrible things have started with nationalism.

Americans having their flag on everything just looks a bit desperate tbh.

I mean, you're already in America. It's not like you need to claim the land.

Then again, America is a pretty exciting country, maybe if Britain was people would fly the Union Jack more.

Hmm...I support Arsenal so I am inclined to hate Man U though I hated them even before RVP joined them and when I first started watching the EPL. I really didn't get into the beautiful game that is football until the World Cup 2010 and when I saw my first ever soccer game in the States for the first time ever. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the game was more appealing than I realized. A lot of precision, a lot of drama and the large collective eruption when your club scores a big goal. Speaking of soccer shops, I always use World Soccer Shop.com to buy my football gear. Granted most of the most merchandise they have is towards the popular teams in the world like Man U, Real Madrid, Bayern, Barca, Juventus and other big name clubs but it's nice considering that you probably can't find them in your local store. As I recall in Epcot, they had kits of the most popular teams in the UK. (I recall seeing Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal, Celtic and maybe Liverpool but just their primary/most well-known kits. (The red and white Arsenal, the blue Chelsea, etc.) btw, you may want to buy those white jerseys now considering the discounted price and they are releasing their new secondary kit probably very soon.

Here's a link for the OP:
http://www.worldsoccershop.com/shop-by-team-manchester-united-football-club.html (btw, stock is limited. Only XL in low stock but plenty of 2XL if that helps.)

Otherwise, here's another good site for buying kits:

My idea is that in Epcot's Manchester United football fans of Manchester United football shirt choice, usually choose to Manchester United's official website. There is to some local shops, or go online to shop.
These three options. I would choose the online store. The following reasons:
1, like this http://www.wysjg.com/ online store, cheap, much cheaper than the official line.
2, easy. Do not go out, compared to the local shops, you can save time.
This is not only my reasons.
