There is talk of Manchester United breaking the £1 BILLION barrier for their next shirt deal.

The Daily Mail says the numbers involved in United's headline deals are staggering. July, for example, sees the start of an eight-year training ground and training kit deal with AON that will see the club receive £160m.

The club's current £303m, 13-year first-team strip deal with Nike could smash through the £1billion barrier when it is renegotiated in the coming months.
