GM said today Chevrolet is signing on as a key sponsor of the English football club Manchester United. A five-year deal, exact financial terms not disclosed. GM said it’s trying to appeal to a more global customer base.
Interestingly, the deal was announced in — no, not Detroit. Nope, not Manchester.
Shanghai.
