Aon Corp (AOC.N), the world’s largest insurance broker, has agreed a four-year deal to sponsor the shirts of English Premier League champions Manchester United from the start of the 2010-11 season.
United’s current 14 million pounds ($23.25 million) a year deal with U.S. insurance giant American International Group (AIG.N) runs out in June 2010.
Details of the agreement were not disclosed but U.S. media reports said it was worth about 20 million pounds a year.
“We are delighted to be entering such an important relationship with a company of the stature of Aon and to have its logo adorn our shirts from the start of the 2010-11 season,” United chief executive David Gill said in a statement.
“We look forward to being closely aligned with the world leader in risk management, a firm which shares our values and is an exciting partner for Manchester United.
