Recent sponsorship



On 23 November 2005 Vodafone ended their £36 million, four year shirt sponsorship deal with Manchester United. On 6 April 2006, chief executive David Gill announced AIG as the new shirt[9] sponsors of Manchester United in a British record shirt sponsorship deal of £56.5 million to be paid over four years (£14.1 million a year). Manchester United now have the second largest sponsorship in the world behind that of Italian side Juventus, who have a deal with Tamoil worth in excess of £15 million per year.[10] The four-year agreement has been heralded as largest sponsorship deal in British history, eclipsing Chelsea's deal with Samsung. Other companies that Manchester United currently have sponsorship deals with include:

Nike - Official kit manufacturer
AirAsia - Official airline
Audi - Official automobile and dugout seat provider
Betfred - Official gambling partner
Budweiser - Official beer
Tourism Malaysia
