MU launch Chinese website ahead of Tour

BEIJING: Manchester United has launched official websites in Chinese a week ahead of its Asian Tour.

The club signed an exclusive partnership with China.com Inc. which will host and operate the official websites in traditional and simplified Chinese. They were operational Wednesday.

The Red Devils, who are estimated to have 40 million fans in Asia, will bring their all-star squad to Hong Kong, Beijing and Japan later this month.

Asia, and in particular China, is seen as a key market for the world's richest sports club, which over the past three years has opened at least 10 of its own “Mega Stores” across the continent. – AFP
