TAMPA BAY, Fla., July 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamViewer was today unveiled as the new principal shirt partner of Manchester United with the launch of the club's new 2021/22 home kit. From the start of the forthcoming season, the men's, women's, and Academy teams of Manchester United will compete in kits bearing the TeamViewer name and logo. Thereby, the partnership between one of the world's most popular and iconic sports teams and one of Europe's leading software companies is becoming visible.

The launch of the new home kit marks the debut of TeamViewer's five-year partnership with Manchester United with the objective to harness the power of the club's unrivalled community of 1.1 billion fans and followers around the world.

Richard Arnold, Manchester United Managing Director, said: "The launch of our new home kit is an exciting moment before the start of every season and especially so this year as we welcome TeamViewer as our new principal shirt partner. While the shirt will be the most visible symbol of our partnership, we are looking forward to using TeamViewer's technology to drive digitalization of the club and open new ways for us to connect with our fans. This will bring huge benefits to both of our organisations and, most importantly, to our fans around the world."

Oliver Steil, TeamViewer CEO, said: "We are very excited to see our brand on the front of the most iconic shirt in global sports.

We can't wait for the new season to begin and to see the team in action in their new shirt at the legendary Theatre of Dreams."
