For the ongoing football season, Manchester United is playing in the United Kingdom’s top Premier League. Its home ground, Old Trafford, has a capacity of more than 74,300. In addition, it has a massive social media presence, with more than 60.5 million followers on Instagram and about 79.4 million followers on Facebook.

Though the financial services provider did not reveal the promotional channel it will receive, a tie with a club of Manchester United’s reputation and a deal of such magnitude will help strengthen its brand.

“Manchester United was our obvious choice when the opportunity to form a partnership arose,” said Ian Howard, Director at Doo Group.

“We have always admired how a football club transitioned into a globally recognized icon, loved and admired across the world and representing more than the sport itself. That to us, showed discipline, consistency, and drive, which resonates with our brand and beliefs.”

However, the club might face an imminent takeover soon as its current owner, the Glazer family, announced their willingness to exit. Meanwhile, Christiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest football players, recently ended his Manchester United deal following a controversial interview where he lashed out at the Glazers and the management of the club.
