Manchester United has today announced the introduction of a new partner to their family of sponsors.
Fred Done and his company Betfred, the World’s biggest independent bookmaker, have become United’s official bookmaking and online gaming partner in a multi-million pound deal. Commenting on the association with his beloved Reds, Betfred boss Fred Done said:
“This is a dream come true. I’ve been a season ticket holder at United for 45 years and the opportunity to be an official partner was a deal I could not pass up. I’m a mad Red and have the utmost respect for Sir Alex."
Fred added: “This deal is about associating ourselves with the world’s best. United are the World’s biggest football club. We have some great ideas and lots to offer United fans and if I don’t know what they want who will?”
The Betfred deal will see all the betting kiosks in the stadium and corporate areas re-branded. A co-branded Betfred / Manchester United website will be offering exclusive Betfred gaming including poker, casino and traditional betting.
Betfred will also be creating fans’ events during the 3 years’ association and linking up with MUTV with gaming specials for viewers.
United’s chief executive David Gill says: "Betfred is a growing worldwide brand and is one of the most respected of all UK bookmakers. Fred’s business acumen together with his love for the club can only be good for our fans and our business."
