Man Utd ahead of Real Madrid with stunning commercial deals

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Fri, 07/17/2009 - 12:38

Manchester United are ahead of European rivals Real Madrid in their commercial plans - despite losing Cristiano Ronaldo over the summer.

The Telegraph says United are preparing to bank more than £80 million from commercial deals during the 2009-10 season.

Led by the club's London-based operation, headed by commercial director Richard Arnold, United have stolen a march on their Premier League and European rivals by securing a series of lucrative sponsorship deals, partnerships and territory-specific agreements that will bring the club huge sums from 14 commercial partners next season. The club are expected to bank in the region of an extra £23.5 million on last season.

Research carried out by the club suggests they have 80 million supporters in Asia alone, so from Saudi Arabia to Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia, United are making the most of their status in the region.

The Far East tour, on which United will play in Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea and China, will generate £6 million for the club.

Kumho Tyres and Hi Seoul (Korea), Aigo (China) and 3 Indonesia will all be rewarded for their investment with United bringing their own particular brand of corporate stardust in the coming 10 days. A £2 million tour sponsorship deal with Telekom Malaysia is a handsome return for just two days in Kuala Lumpur.
