Man Utd buy back DHL's sponsorship rights to training kit

DEPARTING TRAIN ... Utd are buying back their training ground sponsor

MANCHESTER UNITED have bought back the sponsorship rights to their training kit.

United did a deal with DHL in 2010 worth £40million over four years.

But since then they agreed a world-record £372m shirt deal with General Motors who will replace AON in 2014.

Now in a bid to earn even more cash the Glazer family have taken the unusual step of buying out DHL.

A club statement said: “DHL will continue as our global logistics sponsor.

“The significantly increased value of agreements concluded since entering into this agreement leads us to believe that there should be strategic opportunities to further optimise the value of these rights.”
