The AirAsia CEO, Tony Fernandes in his blog said that Manchester United (MU) has  approached him on whether AirAsia would be interested in becoming MU’s shirt sponsor  next season.

The world’s most famous football club wants to proudly wear shirts bearing the name and logo of a Malaysian-born global brand. Doing this would be a first for a Malaysian company and would truly solidify us as a global brand. This pure acknowledgement of us, AirAsia as a global brand to be reckoned with is simply a moment where you just step back and say, “Wow! We’re actually there right now!”.
