Manchester United’s principal shirt sponsor, TeamViewer, has decided it does not want to renew its sponsorship deal with the club - despite having only signed a five-year deal last year.
The German software company signed a deal worth £235m in March 2021 to replace Chevrolet on the torso of the United jerseys. TeamViewer's share price has dipped more than 70 per cent since the company's partnership with United was announced in March 2021.

TeamViewer will enable Manchester United to bring its fans even closer to the team they love through ground-breaking AR solutions and remote access to the Theatre of Dreams.
