The Tata Group has said it had no interest in sponsoring
Barclays Premier League champions Manchester United.
Manchester United are seeking new sponsors after troubled American
insurance company AIG said they would not renew their deal with the
club.
In a statement today, the Tatas, owners of the giant car
manufacturer, said they had no intention of making a deal after
speaking to club official.
"Tatas do not have any intention of sponsoring any football club at
this point of time," the statement said.
"Manchester United's marketing team, which is on a visit to India,
sought a meeting with the Tatas and we have granted a hearing as a
courtesy.
"There is no formal proposal or plans whatsoever related to the
same."
