Man Utd sign world-record £60m per year deal with new shirt sponsor Snapdragon after premature end to TeamViewer agreement

• United find new shirt sponsor in Snapdragon
• Set to replace current one TeamViewer
• World-record deal worth £60m ($74.83m) a year

WHAT HAPPENED? United have found a new shirt sponsor for the 2024-25 season in Snapdragon. The Red Devils' current shirt sponsor is TeamViewer, which signed a five-year deal in 2021 but both parties agreed to end their deal prematurely. This new arrangement with Snapdragon, whose parent company is Qualcomm, represents a significant increase on the club's £47m ($58.6m) a year contract with German company TeamViewer.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: This news comes less than two months after United announced a record-breaking 10-year kit deal with adidas, which is worth £900m ($1.1b). Despite the protests for the Glazers to leave, these deals show the club is still an attractive asset. TeamViewer had reportedly come under pressure to end the five-year £235m ($293.1m) arrangement with United during the coronavirus pandemic. Fast forward to the present, and the company have now become a global partner with the club.

DID YOU KNOW? Snapdragon is part of Qualcomm Technologies, which has been a global partner of United since July 2022 and the success of that partnership has facilitated this new front-of-shirt sponsorship. Snapdragon's processors are used in products such as smartphones, PCs, gaming devices and connected cards.

WHAT NEXT? After the international break, the spotlight will be back on United on the pitch when they host Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.
