Chevrolet is entering into a five-year partnership agreement with Manchester United to become the club's official automotive partner.

Chevrolet takes over from Audi which had been the club's automotive partner since 2004.

The global partnership will focus on bringing club supports around the world closer to the club, extending its reach in China and the US.

Exact details on visibility of the brand within the club have not been revealed but more information will be announced at a celebration event at the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum that will include representatives from Chevrolet, Manchester United and other special guests tonight.
