Statement from United commercial director, Richard Arnold on the Chevrolet kit deal:
“This is a fantastic, long-term deal for the club. We have been partners with Chevrolet for only six weeks, but already they have produced some fantastic ideas that will benefit both the partnership and our 659m followers around the world.
“They are a key partner on our current tour and I know they have enjoyed experiencing the buzz generated by our fanatical support and the sell-out crowds in South Africa, China, and Europe. This commitment to United and its fans will bring real benefits to everyone who cares about the club.”
