According to the Daily Mail, dating app Tinder today (August 3) confirmed their interest in a tie-up with the Premier League side.
The newspaper reported that the company is currently holding discussions over the deal, valued at £12m.
Tinder, which boasts an estimated 50 million users, is already associated with Italian club Napoli.
As part of the agreement, a dating profile was created on the app for Poland striker Arkadiusz Milik.
A spokesperson for Tinder commented: “We are in talks with Manchester United to explore potential partnership opportunities.
“We are excited to see what we can do together.”
Sleeve sponsorship slots represent a new commercial opportunity for Premiership clubs, available from this coming season.
