Manchester United swap sponsor for (RED) on shirt in key Brentford test
Manchester United entertain Brentford this evening (Monday) in a game that could almost secure their return to the Champions League after a two-year absence.
Michael Carrickâs side know that a win will leave them 11 points clear of sixth-placed Brighton with just four games to play, meaning it would take a collapse of monumental proportions to see them drop out of the top five.
However, Brentford will not make it easy for United, with Keith Andrewsâ side unbeaten in their last five matches and capable of springing a surprise at Old Trafford after a fine season of their own.
Change to famous red shirt
Whilst United have the advantage of home comforts, there will be a slight change to proceedings at the Theatre of Dreams, with an amendment to the famous red shirt in place for the game.
As reported by The Sun, Unitedâs regular jersey sponsor will be swapped for (RED), as Snapdragonâs owners Qualcomm Technologies are working with the charity that partners with brands to help fight AIDS, as well as âthe injustices that enable pandemics to thriveâ.
Unitedâs Chief Business Officer, Marc Armstrong, previously spoke on the initiative and is delighted the club can help drive and promote the work through the home shirt.
âThrough the power and innovation of our partnership with Snapdragon we are, once again, proud to use the front of the famous Manchester United shirt to raise awareness and tell the story of the vital work undertaken by (RED) to fight against health injustice.
