Manchester United’s Group Managing Director Richard Arnold said: “Manchester United has in excess of half-a-million followers across these territories and our new partnership is an exciting prospect.

“Fans will not only be able to view all of the club’s matches for the next three seasons, but also get a real insight into the team they support. This is the first time the club has been able to offer this service to fans and we are delighted to be teaming up with Fiji TV to bring them closer to United.”
