You would’ve thought this would have been in place during the Fergie era.
Manchester United may not be the force now that they were a few years ago, but their commercial appeal remains high judging by the amount of corporate partnerships they’ve agreed in recent years.
The Red Devils have everything from global noodle partners to official tyre partners these days and if the billboards around Old Trafford today are anything to go by, they’ve even found somebody to sponsor the time added on at the end of the game.
Maybe this has been going on for a while but it’s certainly the first time we and some Manchester United fans have spotted it.

Unfortunately for Louis van Gaal, there were goals provided by nobody in a red jersey at Old Trafford during defeat to Southampton this afternoon, but who knows, maybe all that sponsorship money will lead to new arrivals at the club before the end of the January transfer window?
