Manchester United are facing a £10million blow after Marriott International has ended its sponsorship with the club, sources have told Football Insider.
The Premier League side agreed a multi-year partnership with Marriott International – the world’s largest hotel company – in 2019.
SportBusiness reported on 12 June the American firm has now decided not to extend the sponsorship deal after it expired at the end of the 2024-25 campaign.
Marriott International announced a radical cost-saving programme last November, with the company targeting between $80-90million (£59-67million) in annual cost savings.
However, it recently agreed a new deal with the FA and also extended its sponsorship deal with the Mercedes F1 team.
Sources have told Football Insider Man United’s sponsorship deal with Marriott International was likely worth between £8-10milion a year.
