Manchester United Terminate Aeroflot Deal by Adenaph(m): 3:57pm On Feb 25, 2022

Manchester United have terminated their sponsorship deal with Russia's national airline Aeroflot.

Aeroflot has been United's official carrier since 2013 and the latest deal was due to run until 2023.

United did not use Aeroflot to travel to play Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson banned Aeroflot from operating in the United Kingdom in a response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

In a statement, United said: "In light of events in Ukraine, we have withdrawn Aeroflot's sponsorship rights.

"We share the concerns of our fans around the world and extend our sympathies to those affected."

As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, United knew their agreement with Aeroflot could have been caught up in US President Joe Biden's increasing sanctions against Russia.

United renewed the deal in 2015, signing a five-year extension reported to be worth $40m (£29.9m).

Ukrainian governments might be at fault for sure but nobody should support war.

Nice moves..

Russia should be made to suffer for the airstrikes they launched against Ukraine..

Imagine Nigeria bullying Niger because of their decision to join an organization..

This same Russia wouldn't accept what they're meting on Ukraine..

"do unto others what..."

War is no longer profitable.

The best war is war of offering better deals to your neighboring countries.

If Putin expand to Ukraine, he'll still have neighbors. What's to stop those neighbors from joining NATO if NATO gives them a better deal?

Well I guess he'll keep fighting everyone of them till the whole world comes under him.

Aeroflot will face financial crisis and may pack up. UK has banned the airline from flying in their region. They have lost a huge customer base. Which other country will permit them to fly within their zone?

So na who loose?
Aeroloft were the one paying the Manchester for for advert and also giving them free flights.

So?
Yes Aeroloft will be restricted to some Western airways, which will cost them business wise, but it goes both ways

Man U will also lose revenue and UK will lose its Tax payment.

And mind you Aeroloft is a private business not owned by the Russian state.

It is an individual sanction with little effect on the Russian Economy

I'm very sure Putin didn't think it up to this level before he decided to go ahead with the invasion.

Now, he'll eventually be forced even by his own citizens and it'll be a great disgrace to Russian Nation.

The Tyrant bird didn't count his teeth well with his tongue
