Man Utd will NOT consider Old Trafford sponsorship

Manchester United have no plans to sell the naming rights of Old Trafford.

The Daily Mail says United officials have no plans to follow Manchester City, which have raked in a reported £400m over 10 years after selling Eastlands naming rights along with a host of other sponsorship rights to Etihad Airways.

United believe there would be little commercial appetite for such a proposal given that few would refer to the stadium as anything other than Old Trafford.

Added to an undoubtedly furious backlash from supporters, the feeling is that such a move would make little sense.
