Man Utd agree new biggest shirt-only deal in Premier League

Manchester United have agreed a five-year deal with TeamViewer to become their principal shirt sponsor from next season.

The remote software firm will replace car manufacturers Chevrolet, who have been the principal shirt sponsor since 2014.

United’s managing director Richard Arnold said: “We are tremendously proud to be establishing this partnership with one of the most exciting and dynamic global software companies.

“The ability to connect and collaborate has never been more important to the world and our community of 1.1 billion fans and followers.

“We are looking forward to working with TeamViewer to bring to life our vision for a partnership built on smarter ways of connecting people and businesses.”

It is believed to be similar to Barcelona’s reported £47m per season deal with Rakuten. It will make the TeamViewer agreement the biggest shirt-only deal in the Premier League.

TeamViewer chief executive Oliver Steil said: “We are very excited about this partnership. It will significantly expand our brand positioning. It will help us to market our comprehensive solutions portfolio to all customer segments globally.

Cavani to leave?

Meanwhile, reports claim Edinson Cavani has reached a verbal agreement to join Boca Juniors when his deal with United expires.

Cavani, 34, penned a one-year contract with United in October last year with the option to extend if all parties agree. But it appears as though that will not be taken up, with strong rumours he will move to Argentina.

The Uruguay international’s father recently hinted that the striker would be leaving at the end of the campaign.

“There is a 60 per cent chance that Edinson will come to South America,” Luis Cavani told TyC Sports. “We are very anxious. We have always been to visit him. He has been in very beautiful places where people have received him very well.

“He has made himself loved, he has made many friends, but today he does not feel comfortable where he is.”

Football Insider are now reporting that the former Paris Saint-Germain ace has agreed to join Boca. He is said to have held ‘extensive talks’ with the club’s vice-president Juan Roman Riquelme and has agreed a deal ‘in principle’.

There is still work to be done but it does seem as though the South American will be leaving.
