Hotel Chain Dumps Red Devils…
In the wild world of football finance fickleness, Manchester United has just faced a whopper of a wobble. The romance with the colossal hotel moguls, Marriott International, has fizzled faster than an over-carbonated soda. Since 2019, these two titans were thick as a bowl of Chamomile tea, but now Marriott has checked out of the partnership hotel because they’ve got a room reserved for cost-cutting measures. Rumor has it, the parting was as amicable as a handshake with a python.
But fear not, dear fans, because United can still boast an illustrious line-up of sponsors that glitter more than a golden boot. Club insiders are strutting around claiming that they still have the snazziest portfolio in all of football-dom. So many businesses still want to park their sponsorship stadium next to Old Trafford because, let’s face it, who wouldn’t want to rub shoulders with the storied Red Devils?
Even without Marriott, United’s financial picture is shinier than a freshly laced football boot. With revenue forecasts promising to rocket back up to pre-pandemic euphoria levels, the club’s accountants are happier than a ref with a whistle. Holding the glamourous Premier League Profit and Sustainability trophy in one hand and high-fiving UEFA’s Financial Fair Play regulations with the other, United marches forward, shorts hiked high and socks pulled up!
