“On Wednesday, I received a message from a medical professional, Sadi, in response to The Athletic’s story that Manchester United are set to sign a deal with Betway for sponsoring the club’s training kit.
“Disappointed United have gone with a sports gambling sponsor,” he said. “It’s an addictive disease that afflicts so many. Not a good look in my opinion. Surprised a Tier A brand like United went this route. Oh well.”
“The more I spoke to supporters, the more opinions I found about a deeply divisive industry that is everywhere in football.”
