ManU Premier Cup not going ahead in 2015

Post by Sacred Noodle »

Word is that the Manchester United Premier Cup will not be held next year due to Nike withdrawing all sponsorship of ManU...

Know that a few U15 coaches and teams were really gearing up for the cup and opportunities go play interstate and potentially overseas.

My son and his teammates and have been speaking and excited about it for months .. now are absolutely gutted

Nike probably want to be linked with a decent club, hence they had to make a business decision accordingly.
