Manchester United's search for a new shirt sponsor is over after the club confirmed they had agreed a deal with US software company Snapdragon.
The software giant is a subsidiary of technology company Qualcomm who had been in discussions with United over becoming the club's new front-of-shirt sponsors.
The Red Devils have been seeking new shirt sponsors after announcing last year that their existing deal with TeamViewer wouldn't be renewed.
They later announced that an agreement had been made for United to buy back their front of shirt sponsorship rights and the club have been targeting new investment ever since.
United confirmed their new sponsor on Tuesday in a short press release that read: 'Manchester United PLC has agreed to an expanded strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc, that will see the Snapdragon brand displayed on the club's famous shirts.
'Qualcomm technologies is already a global partner of Manchester United, promoting it's Snapdragon brand. Snapdragon processors power premiump products from the world's biggest brands across smartphones, PCs, extended reality glasses, gaming devices, wearables, and connected cars.
'Under the expanded agreement, Snapdragon will become Manchester United's front of shirt partner from the start of the 2024/25 season, featuring on the home, away and third kits of the men's and women's teams.'
Reports on Monday suggested that United were targeting a deal worth £60m-per-year as they look to raise revenue from exclusive sponsorship partnerships.
Any such deal with Qualcomm could take United ahead of the current biggest shirt sponsorship package held by Real Madrid and Fly Emirates.
United will see out the remainder of the current season with their shirts featuring Team Viewer logos after the decision was taken to delay the rebranding until next year given the number of shirts already in circulation.
The Snapdragon logo will feature on United's iconic home red shirt along with the away and third strips of the men's and women's teams.
The deal comes at a time of rising tensions between United's owners and faithful fan base with supporters frequently protesting against the Glazer family.
United supporters want the club to be sold to a new owner and are frustrated with delays to the ongoing process that originally started in November last year.

See this one you are just trying to console yourself, Chelsea doesn't have any deal on the table when it comes to sponsor, stop whining yourself I know everything about it. no body wants to sponsor a midtable Chelsea
Championship have sponsors even relegation team has sponsors . Who now says Chelsea don’t have one yet ? For your information Chelsea already signed with Infinite Athlete for 40m deal jus that Todd wanted more becoz he wants the deal to help reduce the FFP risk . They have Saudi deal sponsors in place and it’s about 60m but they worried about what pple will say about Chelsea and Saudi connect . Now told IA will only be used for this season and by 2024 Saudi deal will take effect and everything would have die down plus the talk on transfers . If you want more ask me. I am not jus AF fans that only watch ball and run here for likes on comment . I am a trueblue 💙

Some of you no dey get sense In trying to mock other clubs , you don’t read full articles 🌝 READ AGAIN : “The Red Devils have been seeking new shirt sponsors after announcing last year that their existing deal with Team Viewer wouldn't be renewed”. They been in a lookout since las year . So it’s not something they search now and found no Dey cap rubbish. Moreover , when did Chelsea begin search ? And who told u Chelsea haven’t been seeing shirt sponsors ? Todd jus wanted more and also before the beginning of the season Chelsea was ready to use Paramount but EPL FA rejected it . The money was big and higher than any other deals in EPL but they didn’t allow us use it . Told the deal will cause some rifts in the league

This is the reason why Glazers don't want to sell the club. The club is commercially the most attractive in the world
Exactly, there are some clueless people on this app that don't understand this logic.

The team has become a commercial entity now yet investment into infrastructure is poor, lack of proper scouting and all they do is buy already finished players. With this partnership I guess the Glazers have no where to go
