They are the Nike Jerseys for United (actually the Berbatov one says that it's Adidas, but that's likely a mistake, as the picture of that, and the rest show Nike).

Of course, at least for United, those aren't the latest kits, as there are newer, uglier ones for this season. But they do look to be official from the last two seasons.

There is a kiosk in a mall near me that sells real knock offs of jerseys that are made in Peru or something. It's funny because you'll notice that the sponsor logo is slightly off center, or not quite the right proportion or something. Personally, I support that 100%, as it's money that stays out of the Glazers' pockets.

In fact, I bought a FC United of Manchester shirt there, which I'm sure some little Peruvian thought was the same as Manchester United when he downloaded the logo to make the shirt (FC United is a club started by former Manchester United supporters after the evil trolls' hostile take over...They're currently in the 7th level, I believe, which means they may be competing with Leeds soon).
