Manchester United extends partnership with MBNA

Manchester United and MBNA are extending their partnership deal for a further three years.

As the Club’s Official Credit Card provider for the UK, MBNA will be launching a range of new club-branded cards.

Every fan successfully applying for a new Manchester United Credit Card can now select one of four specially commissioned designs including:

• Ryan Giggs’ famous FA Cup goal celebration against Arsenal in 1999 • The “Champions 2013” logo commissioned to celebrate United’s 20th league title win • A legends design, featuring images of club ambassadors including Gary Neville, Andy Cole and Peter Schmeichel • United’s famous Old Trafford stadium and “Holy Trinity” statue of club icons George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton

In addition, cardholders will be able to take advantage of an array of benefits and incentives, including an attractive 0% interest on balance transfers for 20 months* and the Red Rewards programme which offers cardholders for every £50 spent on the card, the chance to win some money-can’t-buy items and experiences, including signed merchandise and the chance to watch the first team train at the world-famous Aon Training Complex.

Manchester United group managing director Richard Arnold said: “MBNA is one of the UK’s largest and most well-known credit card providers and the Club is delighted to be extending its successful 15-year partnership for a further three years. We have over 8 million followers in the UK and the new MBNA Manchester United Credit Cards will give these fans a new way of showing their support, whilst taking advantage of the attractive incentives and rates MBNA has to offer.”

Michael Donald, MBNA’s business development and commercial executive, said: “Throughout our 20 years in the UK we’ve established credit card partnerships with some of the world’s most iconic brands and Manchester United Football Club is certainly one of those!

“We’re delighted to extend our successful partnership for another three years and to celebrate we’re launching something unique for fans based in the UK.”
