Manchester United are set to officially change their shirt sponsors from American car manufacturers Chevrolet to TeamViewer.
The new deal is believed to be the biggest in Premier League history.
Chevrolet has been United’s official shirt partners since 2014, and they will be replaced after a seven-year stint.
Official announcement of the change in sponsors was made by managing director Richard Arnold who said in a statement, “We are tremendously proud to be establishing this partnership with one of the most exciting and dynamic global software companies.
“The ability to connect and collaborate has never been more important to the world and our community of 1.1 billion fans and followers.

The deal is said to be just behind that of Barcelona’s lucrative agreement with Japanese electronic titans Rakuten.in terms of the numbers.
It is said to be around the region of £47 million per year.
TeamViewer chief executive Oliver Steil also spoke on the new partnership:
“We are very excited about this partnership, as it will significantly expand our brand positioning and it will help us to market our comprehensive solutions portfolio to all customer segments globally,” he said.
Since the Teamviewer logo is blue, it is highly likely the sponsor will be white on United’s kits.
