The English football champions Manchester United have signed a four-year shirt sponsorship deal with the insurance giant Aon Corporation.
Aon will replace troubled US insurer AIG, which is restructuring itself having received a 240 billion dollar bail-out from the US government.
The new sponsor will appear on Manchester United's shirts from the start of the 2010/11 season.
Neither Manchester United nor Aon has announced the terms of the deal or how much it is worth, but AIG paid 36 million dollars a year for its four-year deal, which ends in May 2010.
