  • Manchester United signed a record £20 million-per-year training kit sponsorship deal with Betway.
  • The deal, reportedly the largest of its kind globally, comes as new Premier League regulations restrict gambling company logos on matchday shirts.
  • The sponsorship will feature Betway's logo on training kits for both the men's and women's teams.

Manchester United has secured a landmark training kit sponsorship deal with Betway, reportedly worth a record £20 million annually. This lucrative agreement marks a significant financial boost for the club. Betway's branding will be visible on the training attire for both the men's and women's squads, as well as around the iconic Old Trafford stadium.

The club went without a training kit sponsor last season following the expiration of their previous agreement. The return to the Champions League this season is credited with enabling United to negotiate such a substantial deal, which is believed to be the most valuable globally for a club's training kit.

We are delighted to welcome Betway as official principal partner.

He highlighted the ability to attract leading brands eager to connect with United's extensive worldwide fanbase.
