    Inside Premier League clubs’ weirdest partnerships including vodka, cereal and Man Utd’s official tractor partner

    PREMIER LEAGUE clubs are doing all they can to avoid the dreaded PSR punishments. And that means finding more and more unorthodox ways to generate cash.Arsenal and Manchester City are among the Premier League clubs with bizarre partnershipsCredit: AlamyManchester United once had an official tractor partnerCredit: AFPNow it has got to the point where every team has a long list of “official partners” who pay to be sponsored and have their brand associated with them.Most clubs seem to have a few staples these days with beer, logistics, betting, tyres, formalwear, energy and destination partners joining the more traditional kit and “principal” partners – usually the sponsors on the kit. But there have also been some far more unusual ones over the years. Manchester United once famously had an official tractor partner and even an official noodles partner.READ MORE ON FOOTBALLJapanese tractor manufacturing powerhouse Yanmar swapped the field for the pitch while Mamee Noodles fed off the Old Trafford club’s rich history to sign an utterly bizarre contract.West Brom, meanwhile, encouraged their aspiring young fans to infiltrate enemy territory to study at their higher education partner, the University of Wolverhampton – located 11.3 miles away from The Hawthorns but literally over the road from rivals Wolves’ home ground Molineux. So, what are some of the weirdest and wackiest deals struck between Premier League clubs and corporate companies?ARSENALArsenal pride themselves on looking fresh – and their kits are always in mint condition.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSNow we know why.It’s because they have a deal with laundry giants Persil as the club’s official fabric care partner – I bet the kit man is delighted.Arsenal star Saka stars in touching ad for PersilArsenal appointed Persil as their official fabric care partnerCredit: PersilThe kitman has some extra help keeping the Gunners’ kits fresh and cleanCredit: https://www.instagram.com/arsenal/ASTON VILLABeers, ciders and wines are not uncommon partners – even a few clubs have a whiskey partner. But Aston Villa have upped the ante by signing Ukrainian company Nemiroff as their official vodka partner.Not entirely sure why a club would need one – but it turns out Ollie Watkins and Jhon Duran are not the only ones taking shots at Villa Park this season. Nemiroff vodka and Aston Villa’s strikers provide two very different types of shotsCredit: GettyBOURNEMOUTHBournemouth are not exactly known for their silverware.The Cherries’ entire trophy cabinet features one Championship, one League One, a League Two play-off, an EFL Trophy and the Third Division South Cup in 1945-46.Still, that has not stopped them doing a deal with local business Michael Matthews to be their official jeweller partner – with the company specialising in pre-owned luxury watches and fine jewellery.They even provide the club’s Player of the Month trophies, too. Bournemouth haven’t got many trophies to show for their jeweller partnerCredit: GettyBRENTFORDWhenever you move home, it is the perfect chance to freshen up your interior design. So that would explain why the Bees signed a deal with Brunner UK as their official contract furniture partner when they switched Griffin Park for the Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford are feeling comfortable in their new home thanks to Brunner UKCredit: GettyFULHAMHere’s one you would never have guessed.Fulham have their very own official managed print partner in the form of UTL.In fairness, football clubs do have to do a lot of printing – especially neighbours Chelsea with their squad list. Fulham’s website says: “UTL have provided multi-functional scan/copy/print devices and a secure print release solution to the stadium, training ground and foundation.

    ‘Cristiano Ronaldo got quicker, stronger and learned after being humiliated by AC Milan.. that game changed his career’

    MANCHESTER UNITED legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s career changed forever and put him on the path to superstardom after a disastrous performance against AC Milan in 2005.Ronaldo, 39, joined United in 2003 at the age of 18 from Sporting Lisbon and struggled to adapt to the Premier League due to his lack of physicality and end product.Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s career turned after a disastrous display at AC MilanCredit: GettyMan Utd greats Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt were frustrated with Ronaldo at firstCredit: PA:Press AssociationBut Scholes and Butt insist the Milan humiliation is what put Ronaldo on the path to superstardomCredit: GettyFellow Man Utd greats Paul Scholes and Nicky Butt still remember CR7’s rough start to life at Old Trafford that “frustrated the life” out of them and other esteemed team-mates.And there was one Champions League match against Milan at the San Siro that saw the star forward getting dominated by Gennaro Gattuso and Paolo Maldini so much that his peers lost their patience.The Red Devils suffered a heartbreaking elimination in the Last 16 as they lost 1-0 across both legs.According to Scholes and Butt, though, one good thing came out of it was the wake-up call Ronaldo desperately needed to turn things around.Read More on Man UtdThe Portugal captain got bigger, quicker, stronger and smarter, which eventually led to him winning the Ballon d’Or with United and four more at Real Madrid.Scholes told Butt on the Football’s Greatest Eras podcast: “I always remember a game at AC Milan and he frustrated the life out of me.”We were playing them away. But Gattuso kept running over to him and taking the ball off him and it was doing my head in. “He was playing against Maldini anyway, but Gattuso just kept coming over, taking the ball off him, taking the ball off him.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERS”We were having a right go at him. ‘Look, you’ve got to pass the ball, pass the ball before he gets to you. It’s quite obvious what’s happening’. “And I think it was after that game that he realised and he thought, ‘Right, that’s the game, that’s the biggest stage, and I wasn’t quite up to speed’.Cristiano Ronaldo breaks young fan’s phone with wayward penalty and sends him collapsing to floor “Now, whether he thinks that or what, I don’t know, but he wasn’t game intelligent enough. “But I think from that point on, he just excelled. He got bigger, he got quicker, he got stronger and he learned more.” More

    Arsenal ‘target two former stars to replace Edu as sporting director’ and one is already in the building

    ARSENAL have reportedly identified two potential candidates to replace outgoing sporting director Edu Gaspar – and both are ex-Gunners.The club officially announced Edu’s resignation and imminent departure on Monday.Edu Gaspar resigned as Arsenal’s sporting director this weekCredit: GettyArsenal’s academy manager, Per Mertesacker, is one candidateCredit: GettyTomas Rosicky is another candidateCredit: Getty Images – GettyA statement read: “We thank Edu for the part he has played in our renewed football strategy and driving the club forward with the values of Arsenal in his heart.”The Brazilian is expected to join Evangelos Marinakis’ multi-club group in a senior role at the end of his six-month notice and gardening leave period.Jason Ayto has temporarily stepped in while Arsenal chiefs scout Edu’s permanent successor.And according to French outlet Foot Mercato, two potential candidates have already been identified.Read More in FootballFormer Gunners Per Mertesacker and Tomas Rosicky are said to be “highly appreciated” by club officials.Mertesacker already works for Arsenal as manager of the club’s academy.He previously made 221 appearances for the Gunners across seven years before hanging up his boots.Meanwhile, Rosicky is the sporting director of Sparta Prague.Most read in FootballFOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALSHaving previously worked as an assistant to ex-chief Zdenek Scasny, he was promoted in December 2018.The midfielder spent 10 years with Arsenal as a player and made 246 appearances.Edu’s exit is a huge loss for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal will feel very different without him, says SunSport’s Jack RosserClub officials are said to be open to different options in their search for a new sporting director.They are not insistent on replacing Edu like-for-like with an ex-player.How Edu made Arsenal great againBy Jack RosserEDU GASPAR has been on a mission to ‘Make Arsenal Great Again’ ever since returning to the club he played for 2019.After a few wobbles early on – signing Nicolas Pepe will never reflect well – the Brazilian has, alongside Mikel Arteta, been crucial in the club’s transformation.Arteta was brought in as the new manager within months of Edu’s return to North London and the former midfielder stuck by the boss when the pressure was on two years into the job.Instead of making the knee-jerk decision to change manager again, the former Brazil international, joined forces with Arteta to institute a huge change of culture at The Emirates.Overpaid toxic influences such as Mesut Ozil and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were purged from the dressing room and Arsenal set about adding strong characters.Edu finally got the club competing in the transfer market again, with Martin Odegaard an outstanding capture for the club. In landing Declan Rice ahead of Manchester City last year Arsenal showed they couple compete for and sign some of Europe’s biggest talents once more.Arsenal have become one of the most attractive clubs in the Premier League and one of the most efficient in the market.While there have been big deals for the likes of Rice and Calafiori, there have been smart ones too – picking out value where others have lost hope.Kai Havertz appeared as a surprising signing after a dreadful season at Chelsea. But after Edu gave the German space and support to rebuild his confidence he has developed into a fine asset for Arteta.Edu does not only have a tight relationship with Arteta – who many fans will be glad signed a new deal before the sporting director’s departure – but the players too, always ready and waiting to check in, keep them going.London Colney and The Emirates will feel a very different place for all of them without Edu.

    Paul Scholes in shock Amorim U-turn and claims Man Utd rivals are ‘JEALOUS’ days after saying ‘feels like Ten Hag again’

    PAUL SCHOLES has performed a U-turn on new Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim by insisting he is now “really excited” about the Portuguese coach’s arrival.Last week, the legendary Red Devils midfielder claimed the hype around Amorim “feels a bit like Erik ten Hag”.Paul Scholes has made a U-turn on his assessment of Ruben AmorimCredit: TNT SportAmorim will officially take charge of Manchester United on MondayCredit: GettyWhen discussing the Sporting Lisbon boss’ tactical ideas – namely a three-man defence and possession-based style – Scholes also cut a concerned figure as he admitted it is “something United don’t really do”.But ahead of his former club’s 2-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday night, Scholes transformed his comments into overwhelming positivity.It came just two days after Amorim’s Sporting thrashed Manchester City 4-1 in the Champions League.Speaking on TNT Sports, Scholes said: “I am really excited about it. We have been in for managers and players who we haven’t really had any competition to try to sign.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”Especially some of the players where there are not the likes of Barcelona, Man City and Liverpool – the big clubs being after them.”I think with Ruben Amorim, everyone is looking and they are a little bit jealous, because I think some of them really, really wanted him.”I know he has been spoken about with City once Pep goes, so he has been thought of in that high regard.”That is something we haven’t really had before. We had [Louis] van Gaal, who getting a big job at that stage of his career was a surprise.Most read in FootballCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”For [Jose] Mourinho, it was probably his last big job and it was a bit surprising for the Chelsea rivalry.”This is the first one where you think, ‘yes, this is a real coup’. We have got in there ahead of three, four, five top clubs around Europe and it is exciting. I can’t wait for him to come.”Man Utd legend Paul Scholes names his top 5 toughest Champions League opponents of all time Amorim was heavily linked with the Liverpool job earlier this year before Arne Slot was appointed as Jurgen Klopp’s replacement.He flew to London for talks with West Ham, while there were also reports he was being lined up as Pep Guardiola’s replacement at Man City.But Man Utd is where he has ended up – a position he will officially begin on Monday.His first match in charge comes after the international break on November 24 when they travel to Ipswich.Interim boss Ruud van Nistelrooy will take the reigns for a fourth and final time on Sunday when Man Utd host Leicester.Ruben Amorim is ‘Mourinho 2.0’ who turned Sporting from ‘walking dead’ into Portuguese champs… he can revive Man UtdWHEN Ruben Amorim took charge of Sporting Lisbon in March 2020, one club official compared their situation to the “walking dead”, writes Jordan Davies.Optimism and hope was at an all-time low.But the Amorim-effect was almost instantaneous, guiding the Portuguese sleeping giants to their first league title for 19 years in 2020/21, losing just once and only conceding 20 goals.Since then, Sporting have lifted another league title in 2023/24 – as well as two League Cups – and currently sit top with nine wins from nine this term.He may be young, but Amorim already has an eye for rebuilding and revitalising fallen super powers with his infectious charisma and intense tactical philosophy that hardly ever wavers. The “walking dead” at Manchester United must be praying for a similar sort of revival.And they may just get it from one of the most talented young coaches on the continent – a man accustomed to breathing new life back into crumbling institutions such as Old Trafford.Amorim has spent the last decade dreaming of one day gracing England’s Premier League, such was his admiration for an ex-United boss in Jose Mourinho growing up.Often nicknamed ‘Mourinho 2.0’, Amorim spent a week with his coaching idol in an internship capacity at United’s Carrington training base in 2018, going on to cite him as his “reference point”.United should not be expecting a mini-Mourinho, as Amorim said himself: “Mourinho is one of a kind. There won’t be another Mourinho. Mourinho is unique.”And yet, you cannot help but compare the two.For all the mismanagement in the Old Trafford hot seats over the years, this would be a real get – finally a slap in the face United’s Prem rivals have no answer for.

I definitely want to attack.“It was a really tough night after Greece. I am not sure what I would have changed. I know you are saying ‘just play a centre-forward’ but I wanted to try something different.“I have tried to pick players I think have a future in terms of longevity as the World Cup is 18 months away and the more players we have to pick from, who have been in the camp and played in a pressurised game, is a big thing.”Southgate vs Tuchel records comparedTHOMAS TUCHELAugsburg II 2007-2008P34 W 20 D8 L6 Win percentage: 58.82%Mainz 05 2009-2014P184 W72 D46 L66 Win percentage: 39.13%Borussia Dortmund 2015-2017P107 W67 D23 L17 Win percentage: 62.62%Honours: DFB Pokal Paris Saint Germain 2018-2020P127 W95 D13 L16 Win percentage: 74.8%Honours: Ligue 1 X2, Coupe de France, Coupe de la Ligue, Trophee des Champions x2Chelsea 2021-2022P100 W60 D24 L16 Win percentage: 60%Honours: Champions League, Super Cup, Club World CupBayern Munich 2023-2024P61 W37 D8 L16 Win percentage: 60.66%Honours: BundesligaGARETH SOUTHGATEMiddlesbrough 2006-2009P151 W54 D43 Win percentage: 35.76%England U21 2013-2016P37 W27 D5 L5 Win percentage: 72.97%Honours: Toulon tournamentEngland 2016-2024P102 W61 D24 L17 Win percentage: 59.8%Honours: Euros runners up, 2020, 2024 More
