Kentaro to Distribute Media Rights for Manchester United’s 2013 Summer Tour

Leading sports rights agency Kentaro have announced they have been awarded the media rights for the much anticipated beginning of David Moyes reign, Manchester United’s upcoming 2013 summer tour. 

Media interest around the event is expected to skyrocket following Moyes’ appointment and the huge global fan base Manchester United command.

The tour will begin in Bangkok on July 13th against a Singha All Star XI, then move on to Sydney where the team will play an A-­‐League All Star team on July 20th, then to Japan to play two games against Yokohama F-­‐Marinos and Cerezo Osaka on 23rd and 26th July respectively and the final destination is Hong Kong to play Kitchee FC on 29th July.

Kentaro have already concluded a number of deals which will be announced in the coming days.

“We are of course delighted to have been chosen by Manchester United ahead of a number of our competitors to represent these rights and it is a great tribute to our infrastructure and our sales team,” said Kentaro CEO Philipp Grothe.

“These games will underpin our summer offering and be a perfect platform for continuing to interact with our broadcast partners around the world.”
