Can anyone help me legit check this vintage Manchester United Umbro Sharp shirt?

I’m not trying to lead the opinion either way — I just want an objective check based on the details.

From the photos, I’d like opinions on:
- Umbro neck tag
- fabric texture/pattern
- collar and zip construction
- shoulder tape/details
- SHARP sponsor print
- Manchester United crest
- overall cut and stitching

I don’t have the wash tag photos yet, but I can ask the seller for more pictures if needed.

Does this look authentic vintage, or more likely a replica/fake?

Thanks in advance.

Need help legit checking this 1999 Manchester United UCL Final Beckham shirt.

I’m mainly confused about the nameset material and whether this type was officially used by Umbro around 1998-99.

It is not flock/felt:
- very smooth surface
- matte finish
- dense/thick feeling
- edges blend very smoothly into the fabric

It almost feels like an older rubberized material rather than modern PU.

I also feel like if it ever deteriorates, it would probably crack rather than peel.

Were there different official Umbro/UCL style namesets used around 1998-99?
