Manchester United have announced a new £235m shirt sponsorship deal with global technology company TeamViewer, replacing car manufacturers Chevrolet.
TeamViewer’s logo will appear on the front of United’s shirts from the start of the 2021/22 season as part of a five-year contract understood to be worth approximately €55m (£47m) per year.
United believe the deal is the largest shirt-only partnership in the Premier League and the most lucrative sponsorship agreement to be struck by any sports team in the world during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The deal is described as similar in value to the one struck by Barcelona and Japanese electronic brand Rakuten. Though TeamViewer’s logo is blue, it is planned to be white on United’s home shirt.
United are also understood to be in discussion for a new training kit sponsor, as an eight-year deal with Aon nears it end.
The partnership plans to introduce United’s ‘1.1billion fans and followers around the world to exciting new technology drawing on TeamViewer’s expertise in remote connectivity services.
United will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, travelling to the King Power Stadium to take on Leicester in the quarter-final of the FA Cup.
