September 13, 2023 Man Utd Announce New Shirt Deal With US Firm Qualcomm

Man Utd Announce New Shirt Deal With US Firm Qualcomm

Manchester United have announced a bumper sponsorship deal with US-based Qualcomm Technologies, whose Snapdragon brand will replace the TeamViewer logo on their shirts from next season.

The Premier League club, who did not reveal the deal's financial details, reportedly targeted an annual agreement worth £60 million ($75 million).

It is understood the figure equals or even surpasses the previous biggest shirt deal in football history.

Qualcomm has been one of United's global partners since last year.

"Manchester United plc has agreed to an expanded strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc, that will see the Snapdragon brand displayed on the front of the club's famous shirt," the club said in a statement confirming the agreement.

It added: "Under the expanded agreement, Snapdragon will become Manchester United's front of-shirt partner from the start of the 2024/25 season, featuring on the home, away and third kits of the men's and women's teams."

United have not won the Premier League since former manager Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

Erik ten Hag's team have won just two of their first four league matches this season, with fans voicing their frustration at unpopular owners, the Glazers.

United's share price tumbled last week after reports that the Glazers had halted plans to sell the club.

September 5, 2023 Eric Bailly Completes Besiktas Move

Eric Bailly Completes Besiktas Move

Manchester United defender Eric Bailly has completed a move to Turkish side Besiktas.

The Ivory Coast international, 29, is not part of United manager Erik ten Hag's plans and spent last season on loan at Marseille.

Bailly was former boss Jose Mourinho's first signing when he joined from Villarreal in June 2016.

He went on to make 113 appearances for United, scoring one goal, but has struggled with injuries.

Bailly's last competitive appearance for United was in a 3-1 win over Burnley in December 2021.

A statement from the Turkish Super Lig side said: "Our club has reached an agreement with Manchester United for the final transfer of Ivorian defender Eric Bailly.

"We wish Eric Bailly, who we believe will provide important services to our club, great success with our glorious jersey, and present it to the public with our respect."

He is the second United player to move to Turkey after Fenerbahce signed Fred in August.

Turkish sides have until 15 September to add to their squads.

September 5, 2023 Brazil Drops Man Utd’s Antony After Abuse Claims

Brazil Drops Man Utd’s Antony After Abuse Claims

Brazil have dropped Manchester United winger Antony following allegations of abuse by his former girlfriend.

The Brazilian football federation said the 23-year-old had been withdrawn from the squad after "facts became public" that "need to be investigated".

Brazilian news outlet UOL published allegations made by Antony's ex-partner on Monday.

Police in Sao Paulo and Greater Manchester are investigating the claims, which the player has denied.

"I can calmly state that the accusations are false and that the evidence already produced and the other evidence that will be produced demonstrate that I am innocent of the accusations made," Antony said on social media.

 Antony is accused of attacking his former girlfriend Gabriela Cavallin "with a headbutt" in a Manchester hotel room on 15 January, leaving her with a cut head that needed treatment from a doctor.

She also alleges she was punched in the chest, causing damage to a silicone breast implant, which required corrective surgery.

Antony added in his statement on Monday that his relationship with his former partner was "tumultuous" but insisted he "never committed any physical aggression".

In June, he also said that his former girlfriend had falsely accused him of domestic violence.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said it is "aware of the allegations made, and enquiries remain ongoing to establish the circumstances surrounding this report".

 Antony has been replaced in the Brazil squad by Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Peru.

August 30, 2023 Manchester United Defender Varane To Be Sidelined For Weeks With Injury

Manchester United Defender Varane To Be Sidelined For Weeks With Injury

Manchester United defender Raphael Varane will miss a few weeks with the injury he sustained against Nottingham Forest.

Varane, 30, was forced off at half-time of Saturday's 3-2 win at Old Trafford.

Club sources have played down suggestions he could miss as many as six weeks and note the forthcoming international break will limit the number of matches he is absent for.

His absence puts a greater spotlight on the future of Harry Maguire.

It has been felt the England international could still move before Friday's transfer deadline despite turning down an offer from West Ham earlier this month.

That would seem less likely now, with Lisandro Martinez, Victor Lindelof, and Maguire left as Erik ten Hag's only senior central defenders.

It almost certainly means former United defender Jonny Evans turns his current temporary contract into a permanent one.
