Details of new partnership set to be unveiled in 2020.

English soccer giants Manchester United have revealed a new partnership with the Lego Group.

No details have been disclosed about the tie-up but it was confirmed in the Premier League club’s annual financial report released earlier this week.

The club confirmed to Off The Pitch that the deal is a licensing agreement, with more information and products to be released in the new year.

The Lego Group has held partnerships in soccer before; a special series of Lego figures was launched during Uefa Euro 2016 featuring the players and managers at the European national team championships.

United’s latest financial figures for the first quarter of 2019/20, which covers the period from 1st July to 30th September, show that commercial revenue for the quarter was up 5.9 per cent to UK£80.4 million (US$104.2 million). The Lego partnership contributed to a UK£4 million (US$5.2 million) increase in sponsorship revenue that totalled UK£53.6 million (US$69.5 million).

United are seventh in the Premier League, nine points off the qualifying places for the Champions League. They travel to play Sheffield United in their next game on 24th November.
