Manchester United have agreed a controversial £20 million deal with Betway for the club's training kit sponsorship, providing a financial boost ahead of the summer transfer window. The agreement, which covers the training wear and pre-match attire, has drawn criticism due to Betway's association with gambling.
The deal is set to run for multiple seasons, with the first year reportedly worth £10 million. This partnership comes as United look to strengthen their squad under manager Erik ten Hag, with the additional revenue aiding their transfer budget.
Betway, a well-known gambling company, has faced scrutiny over its marketing practices. Critics argue that such deals promote gambling, especially to younger audiences who may see the training kits worn by players. United have defended the partnership, stating it complies with all regulations.
The club's commercial operations continue to be a significant revenue stream, with this latest deal adding to their portfolio of sponsors. United's global brand appeal remains strong, despite recent on-field struggles.
