The partnership was launched at Old Trafford this week, ahead of Saturday’s game against Blackburn Rovers, with manager Alex Ferguson, chief executive David Gill and the entire first team squad in attendance.

Speaking at the launch event Epson’s Global President, Minoru Usui said, “The partnership with Manchester United aligns Epson with an exciting and globally recognised brand, bringing us closer to our customers worldwide.

“Leading the way through constant creativity and innovation both brands share a commitment to achieving the highest standards.
