Being the global powerhouse that they are, it comes as no surprise
that Manchester United have a large army of corporate partners. But did
you know that the official number stands, at present, at 33?

Moreso, did you know the Red Devils saw fit to strike 14 separate
'integrated communications' partnerships across a complex network of
worldwide locations?

Here is the full list. Some are well-known, others are just plain
barmy. Use it as a quiz of sorts, to see just how well-versed you are in
the corporate side of 'the beautiful game'. No cheating:

So before you continue, write down as many of United's sponsors as
you can, and then check to see how many you got. We'll mark this 'test'
of sorts as follows...

0-3 right: And you say you
know football? Stick to irrelevant topics such as zonal marking and how
to nurture homegrown talent...

4-9 right: More manure than Man U. Banned from press conferences...

10-19 right: Mid-table mediocrity. Enough to get you fired at Old Trafford...

20-29 right: Champions League spot. Just pray Cuneyt Cakir isn't the referee...

30-33 right: Are you SURE you did not cheat!?
