In a massive turn of events, Daily Mail have exclusively claimed that Manchester United might feature the well-known dating app Tinder on their sleeve from next season. The Devils are reportedly working on a deal with the popular mobile app, as the new Premier League guidelines have allowed the English clubs to add an extra company logo on their kits, but only on a sleeve, while the other sleeve will feature the Premier League logo.
Nine other Premier League clubs have already acquired their shirt-sleeve sponsors, but Manchester United’s deal with Tinder will be the highest paid deal, as it has been quoted that Tinder will be paying about 20% of United’s main sponsors, Chevrolet.
United are under contract with the American car giant which see them earning a massive £50million every season. Hence, with Tinder, United will be sealing a £12million-a-year deal. Tinder claims to have 1 billion swipes per day and are looking to establish a bigger market, hence, want an association with Manchester United.
Tinder first introduced themselves in the footballing market with the Serie A giants Napoli only a couple of months back. Their 23-year-old Polish striker Arkadiusz Milik featured in a commercial as a part of the campaign and was given a private profile. He then later picked four Napoli fans for a stadium tour.
Having said that, the Manchester United fan base has found it extraordinarily funny and this is how they are reacting to the news.
