Manchester United have had interest from some of the world's leading brands over becoming the club's new shirt sponsor from 2021 onwards.
The seven-year deal with Chevrolet will expire at the end of next season and MEN Sport understands the club have begun to 'test the water' over a new shirt sponsor.
While the American car giant remains a part of that discussion, United could well end up with a new shirt sponsor from the 2021/22 season onwards if no new deal with Chevrolet is agreed.
If that is the case it will be just the sixth different shirt sponsor in United's history, following Sharp, Vodafone, AIG, AON and Chevrolet.
The deal with Chevrolet was announced in July 2012, with their shirt sponsorship beginning from the 2014/15 season. That deal has been worth more than £50million a season to United and the club are relaxed about the next deal, with indications that the value of sponsorship rights for the club remain strong.
It is those commercial deals and sponsorship revenue that remains important to United's investment on the pitch, with the revenue reinvested in the playing side of the club, as Ed Woodward stressed on his most recent conference call with investors.
“We and our growing global fanbase demand success,” he said. "Success means winning trophies.
“That target and that standard has never changed for Manchester United. The progress we made on the business side underpins the continued investment in the football side.”
A United spokesperson said: "Chevrolet is a fantastic partner and we will continue to work with them to activate and maximise the sponsorship."

Manchester United is a self sponsored football club no need of searching, just that it's in deep crisis of poor management... so not a big deal in searching 4sponsors , am sure this post is from the haters of Manchester United, those who are enjoying the field's struggles experiencing, am sure Manchester United will arise sooner the it took Liverpool. mutd utd 4lyf..😍😍😍

I never liked Chevrolet anyways but that's a slap in face for Glazers and woodward if they lose them because of our performances last few seasons...When you get all the money and you don't want to invest in players or youngsters and you buy gold diggers and give away money to the players who doesn't deserve to wear the Jersey what kind of crap are you doing at helm...Let's see who is going to invest more than Chevrolet.. Glazer's out
