Manchester United could lose the final £14m instalment of their
lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with AIG.
The American insurance company has been bailed out by the US
government to the tune of $182.5million.
The company, which is not renewing its sponsorship deal when its
five-year contract ends in 2010, could try to cut and run now, says
The Sun.
US politicians are examining the agreement with United to see
whether they can ditch the deal as the company is now effectively
state-owned.
Democrat representative Ann Kirkpatrick said: “It is
unacceptable for US taxpayer money to go to support an English
soccer club.”
