A bit more footy for Friday !

Manchester United has signed a new sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines.

Manchester United has signed a new sponsorship deal with Turkish Airlines.
The club has negotiated what it has termed a multi-million pound agreement - although exact details have not yet been disclosed - for the airline to replace Air Asia as the team's official carrier.

Turkish Airlines, which uses Kevin Costner in its international advertising, flies routes out of Manchester Airport and is a member of the Star Alliance network of firms. It carried over 25m passengers last year.

The deal comes in the same week that United announced that club debts had risen to £716m.

However, its latest accounts also indicated that sponsorship income had climbed by 48% over the past year.

Turkish Airlines recently signed a similar deal with Champions League title holders Barcelona. This was reported to be worth £2.7m.
