Manchester United announce new shirt deal

Manchester United have confirmed that they will have a new shirt sponsor from 2014.

The Red Devils have reached an agreement with American company General Motors that will see Chevrolet printed on the kit.

"This is a fantastic, long-term deal for the club. We have been partners with Chevrolet for only six weeks, but already they have produced some fantastic ideas that will benefit both the partnership and our 659 million followers around the world," United's commercial director Richard Arnold told the club's official website.

"They are a key partner on our current tour and I know they have enjoyed experiencing the buzz generated by our fanatical support and the sell-out crowds in South Africa, China, and Europe.

"It is a great thrill for those of us who work with partners all year round when an existing partner steps up to being one of our principal partners. This commitment to United and its fans will bring real benefits to everyone who cares about the club."

Chevrolet will become United's fifth shirt sponsor in the club's 134-year history.
