Manchester United cricket team to play against Indian teams?

Manchester United is one of the most popular football clubs. The Premier League club will now be seen battling with teams on the cricket field as well. The team is set to feature in the UAE T20 League after the Glazer family, owners of the football club, acquired a team in the UAE T20 League.

The tournament will also see teams from Indian T20 League owners, GMR Group (owners of Delhi team) and Reliance Industries Limited (owner of Mumbai). This means that fans could see teams from India and Manchester United clashing with each other. The tournament is set to get underway next year.

Meanwhile, the chairperson of the Dubai Sports Council, Mansoor bin Mohammed, had a meeting with Manchester United Football Club co-chairperson Avram Glazer to discuss ways to promote Dubai as a sporting hub.

“I met with Avram Glazer, co-chairman of Manchester United, today and discussed ways to work together to further raise Dubai’s profile as a global sporting hub," he tweeted alongside a picture of the two.

“We also discussed the UAE T20 Cricket league’s launch in January 2023 featuring Manchester United cricket team and other teams," he added.

Notably, the Glazer family was also interested in buying one of the two new teams in the Indian T20 League but were not successful.
