The squad arrived at Old Trafford wearing the all-blue tracksuit which draws inspiration from the club’s 1967-68 European Cup winning season.
Utd beat Benfica 4-1 in the final, with Best scoring in extra time at Wembley.
The Belfast-born superstar played over 350 times for the Red Devils and was voted in FIFA‘s Team of the Century.
Fans are hoping that the current crop can take inspiration from Best and his teammates and are convinced that the snazzy pre-match outfits are a good omen before their Spurs clash this afternoon.
On social media, one wrote: “That looks good! We deserve to win by a landslide.”
While another added: “Looking sharp, Reds! Let’s bring home the win.”
A third wishfully commented: “They look sharp! Let’s hope they play just as sharp”.
And a fourth gushed: “What an entry!”

United launched a campaign for the new tracksuit and a whole range of different apparel earlier this week.
The George Best Collection features a shirt, jogging bottoms and a zip-up top, all decked out in an iconic Man Utd dark blue.
Current United stars Marcus Rashford, Casemiro, Mason Mount and Ethan Wheatley all modelled in the campaign alongside club legends like Andy Cole and Bryan Robson.
While the whole collection was photographed by Hollywood movie star Gary Oldman.
United face a challenge against Spurs with both sides having tumultuous starts to the season and sitting on just seven points.
Erik ten Hag and Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to put on a show for their fans to get the support back on side.
