Aon has been the principal partner and global shirt sponsor of the club since 2010, and was the presenting partner of the club’s 2013 tour in Asia.

“United’s match against Inter Milan promises to be an exciting event for players and fans alike. Playing such strong opposition will be great preparation for David Moyes and his team as we look forward to the 2014/15 season.  The team last played in Washington in 2011 and the match against Barcelona was extremely well supported,” said Richard Arnold, Manchester United Group managing director.  “Manchester United has over eight million followers across the United States and Tour 2014, presented by Aon, will be a great opportunity to travel the country and bring the fans closer to the Club they love.”
