Manchester UtdAddleshaw Goddard and DLA have cashed in on Manchester United Football Club’s global following by advising on the creation of a Manchester United branded Barclaycard for use by fans of the team around the world.

The club already runs a branded credit card for UK fans with credit card provider MBNA. However, this latest deal will allow Barclaycard to market a credit card anywhere outside the UK and also to sub-license the rights to other credit card companies for non-UK customers.
