🚨 Man United at risk of losing commercial deals A season without a training kit sponsor. That's the evidence against Avram Glazer's argument that Manchester United don't need to win to be financially sound, and it's United's own recent history. Borson, the former Manchester City financial adviser, has taken apart the claim that results don't affect commercial pull. The front-of-shirt deal got harder to sell after TeamViewer left, and the training kit slot sat empty for a full campaign. Those are things that have already happened. His position isn't that the money vanishes overnight. United will always carry brand value, and nobody expects partners to disappear entirely. But the gap between "we'll always be valuable" and "results make no difference" is enormous, and Glazer stood in a room full of investors and pretended it wasn't there. He wasn't talking to fans, he was talking to people considering buying in. Thirteen years without a title, a squad short of genuine stars beyond a 33-year-old Bruno Fernandes, and 18th in the table, relegation zone. Every one of those facts is damning in sponsorship negotiation. Carrick carries the blame publicly while the people who built the squad make speeches about brand resilience. Defeat to Villa today could end his tenure, which would be the fourth manager to pay for a problem above him. How long before results start costing United real money? The fans are already making their voices heard.
