Globacom's deal will see the firm offering mobile alerts and related products to customers in Nigeria, Ghana and Benin, while fans from those territories will also get the opportunity to win all-expenses paid trips to see United play in the Premiership, FA Cup and Champions League.
In addition cadets from the West African nations will have the chance to train at the Manchester United Soccer Academy.
Paddy Adenuga, group chief executive at Globacom, was quoted in Africa's This Day as saying: "This new partnership with the world's most famous football club will no doubt give impetus to the quest by kids in Nigeria, Ghana and Benin Republic to become world stars.”
As well as teaming up with United the business also sponsors the Nigerian and Ghanaian national football sides.
