Manchester United have reached an agreement with TeamViewer to allow the club to look for a new front-of-shirt sponsor, the German software company has announced. TeamViewer’s five-year partnership with United was due to run until 2026, in a deal reported to be worth £47million per year.
However, a “mutually-beneficial agreement” with the business software company has now been made which gives United the option of buying back the rights to the shirt sponsorship, which could then be sold on to another interested party.
The news follows on from the Glazer family having confirmed they were considering putting the club up for sale last month.
