Why do sponsors matter?
Sponsors inject significant money into football clubs, like Man Utd's previous £20 million per season deal with DXC Technology. This revenue helps fund player transfers, wages, and club operations. The absence of a sleeve sponsor meant the club had to revert to displaying the official Premier League badge, highlighting the commercial value of those prime kit spots.
