Manchester United and the A's (AIG and AON)

Manchester United is a big football club from England. They have been champions of England for 18 times. This makes them record holder, together with Arsenal which also won the Premier League 18 times already. They also won the Champions League three times already. Another nice fact about Manchester United, is that they have the biggest number of supporters al over the world, 449 million supporters. If you hear what big prices Manchester United already won, it probably doesn't surprise you that they have big sponsor deal. The Manchester United Head sponsor of last season was AIG. AIG is an American Insurance company. AIG sponsored Manchester United for 4 years. In this four years AIG has been the shirt sponsor of Manchester United. Manchester United received the incredible amount of 56.5 million pounds for this deal. This comes to about 14 million pounds a year, just to be on the shirt of Manchester United. When AIG made this deal with Manchester United, it was the biggest sponsor deal in England. But now, for the coming four years, Manchester United has signed a deal with the American insurance company  AON corporation. This deal is worth an amazing 80 million pounds. So you see how much money companies pay just to be on the shirt of a famous football club. And what you can tell from the sponsor history of Manchester United, it only becomes more and more. The next question rises then, where does it stop? Or maybe the question should be, does it stop?
