Man Utd make contact with Perodua over sponsorship deal

Yes, you read the headline right. English Premier League giants Manchester United have approached Malaysian automotive brand Perodua for discussions on a potential sponsorship.

This was revealed by Perodua chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin, who said that they are currently evaluating an offer from the 20-time EPL champions.

“I recently received a letter from Manchester United asking whether they could display the Perodua logo on their jerseys and whether we would be interested in sponsoring them.

“I usually don’t share such matters publicly, but I’m actually an Arsenal supporter. If I were to do that, it would feel rather unfair to Arsenal,” he quipped.

When asked about Perodua’s interest in sports sponsorship, particularly in local football, Asmat mentioned that interest from Manchester United demonstrates that the company is becoming increasingly recognised on an international level.

“We will consider it, especially for football in Malaysia,” he said.
