Manchester United could lose their lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with AIG after all, as the American insurance giants look to cut costs.

The European champions are still owed half of the money on the £56million agreement they sealed with AIG two years ago.

After being rescued from meltdown by a £43billion loan from the American government last month, AIG have now embarked on a massive moneysaving exercise.

That is likely to spell bad news for United - and the fans who have bought football shirts with the AIG logo.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has secured a renewed deal with their kit sponsors adidas to extend their sponsorship to the newly introduced national U-13 teams.

Adidas only produced kits for the senior national teams. But after a meeting last week, Nigerian football officials were able to convince the company to extend the deal to the youth teams.

Now adidas has also agreed to start producing small size apparels to suit the smaller bodies of the U-13 national team players and in addition to this, adidas has also agreed to include footballs in its package with the NFF.

Previously the deal only covered socks, shorts and shirts, along with training attire.
