Manchester United has developed a robust system of sponsorship deals that would have helped them to cope with the pandemic. Man United boasts the biggest stadium in England, so not having fans in the stadium has affected the club’s revenue. They have managed to broker a record sports sponsorship deal during the pandemic by agreeing to a deal with tech giant Teamviewer. However, the recent protests against the club’s owners saw them miss out on a reported £200 million deal for training kit deal.
