Man Utd's £20m Betway deal raises questions over Premier League gambling rules

According to Mirror Football, Manchester United have signed a £20m sponsorship agreement with betting company Betway.

The deal has drawn attention to the Premier League's new rules on gambling sponsorship, which were introduced to limit betting advertising in football.

Those rules do not amount to a blanket ban. Betting firms are no longer allowed to appear as the main shirt sponsor of Premier League clubs, but other commercial partnerships with gambling companies remain permitted.

United's agreement with Betway appears to fall outside the main shirt restriction, yet the announcement has still sparked debate about the league's overall stance on gambling-related income.
