James Ashton: Extra time for Manchester United with latest sponsor
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Outlook I suppose the whole point of companies you have never heard of taking out multi-million-pound sponsorships is to raise their profile. So Bulova, which traces its history back to 1875, must hope that becoming Manchester United's official timekeeper will help it shift a few more luxury watches.
With the new Premiership season almost upon us, it is customary for football clubs to unveil new signings. It is a surprise that the Red Devils have room for another corporate striker in a kitroom already jam-packed with money-spinning relationships.
What a shame that Sir Alex Ferguson has retired as Manchester United manager. Presumably he would have insisted that all the Bulovas at Old Trafford were wound back four minutes on match day.
