Why are Tottenham wearing a new sponsor on their shirt against Man Utd?

TOTTENHAM are taking on Manchester United tonight in the Premier League – and fans have spotted something different about their shirts.

Spurs need a big win tonight if they’re to keep up in their battle for the top four in the league.

They were thrashed 6-1 by Newcastle at the weekend, however, and rumours are swirling over Harry Kane’s future.

United would also like a win to go back above Newcastle and into third, but will have it tough this evening.

Spurs will be hoping their brand new shirts will give them the luck they need for tonight’s game.

Why are Tottenham wearing a new sponsor?

Tottenham are usually sponsored by AIA, a worldwide insurance company.

And while the AIA logo has remained on their shirt tonight, there’s something just a little different about it.

“Our players will wear special edition charity shirts for tonight’s match against Manchester United, raising awareness and funds for an initiative supporting the education of children in rural China,” Tottenham tweeted before the game.

A win for Spurs tonight would push them closer to the top four, but Newcastle have a game in hand over them and are already six points clear with a handful of games to go.

Christian Stellini was sacked earlier this week following the Newcastle defeat.

Caretaker boss Ryan Mason hopes Spurs’ fortunes will change tonight.

“We’ve got six games to try and have a positive little run, but I believe in this group and I believe in this football club as well,” he said.

“I’ve been in in football long enough to know how things can change quickly and a result can change a lot. Hopefully we can transmit that to the pitch.”
