Despite their on-field issues, the Red Devils have impressive sponsorship power.
This is demonstrated by the fact that their training kit contract with Tezos is more than that of certain clubs’ major shirt deals, such as Lyon and Borussia Dortmund.
It has also been revealed that the players will debut the freshly branded training outfit this weekend.
United’s training kit deal with Tezos worth around £24m a year. Doesn’t include Carrington naming rights, so #mufc looking for a new partner to take over that aspect of AON deal. Full story: https://t.co/ddtkVZuMzt

This should mean that fans will get to see it in action before the game against Southampton on February 12th.
Tezos, a cryptocurrency or blockchain startup, has made its way into Manchester United’s football team recently.
Fans will be hoping that the agreement will fund much-needed player investments this summer.
#ManchesterUnited have confirmed a multi-year sponsorship deal for their training kit with blockchain platform Tezos. Remarkably, this training kit deal (£20m/€23.7m a year) will be worth more annually than some top clubs’ main shirt deals. @tezos replaced AON #SportBusiness pic.twitter.com/WjT7JZHSjJ

They have been advised that Ralf Rangnick may go if his counsel is not taken seriously by those in power at Old Trafford.
Fans have frequently complained that the club is run more like a business than a football club, but the goal is that this will be the best of both worlds.
Multi-year sponsorship deal between @ManUtd + Tezos ‘one of the world’s most advanced and sustainable blockchains’. Figure around £24m. Doesn’t include naming rights to Carrington. Tezos-branded training kit will be worn by the first team squad for the first time this weekend.
