Premiership title holder Manchester United has confirmed that it has signed a four-year sponsorship deal with America's Aon Corp, which has been valued in press reports at £80m.

It appears that Premiership title holder Manchester United is about to confirm that it has signed an £80m, four-year sponsorship deal with America's Aon Corp.

Aon will be there next season

In news that bucks the trend of recession induced downsizing and, in some cases, all out retreat from the field of sports sponsorship, financial giant Aon has sealed what is the most lucrative shirt sponsorship deal in football with this season's Champions League runners-up.

The Old Trafford club, meanwhile, now eclipses their rival teams sponsorship agreements and their current deal with troubled US insurance firm AIG, which was worth £14m a season.

Aon takes over from AIG for the 2010-11 season.
