Man U Fan Group Asks Brands to Sponsor Them, Not the Team
The group, which wants to force a change of ownership of the club, wants Sharp to be part of a portfolio of alternative partners keen to align themselves with fans rather than the club’s owner, the Glazer family.
Manchester-based consumer and professional electronics maker Sharp, which sponsored Manchester United from 1982 to 2000, will lend its name to a new alternative green and gold team shirt. Proceeds from the sale of the shirts will go to the Prostate Cancer Charity.
