Gulf Oil announced early Monday that it had entered into a long-term partnership with Manchester United running until the end of 2018-19.

The most successful club in Premier League history is in danger of missing out on Champions League football for the second time in three seasons, and the deal would help strengthen the club’s brand in the Middle East and Asia.

Gulf Oil International’s vice president Frank Rutten said: “This partnership, brings together two brands with incredible heritage, a pride in performance excellence and the ability to listen to the wishes of their customers – the fans in the case of Manchester United – and turn this into action.”
