FA Cup winners United face City – Premier League champions for a record four seasons running – in the Wembley curtain-raiser.

And Erik ten Hag‘s men will mark the occasion in shirts showcasing Snapdragon.

The company, part of the U.S. tech firm Qualcomm, have launched a three-year sponsorship of United’s tops.

The Red Devils played in kit with the firm’s fireball logo during their pre-season tour Stateside.

Qualcomm’s involvement enables Snapdragon hardware to be promoted.

And The Athletic say the first brand emblazoned on the back of United’s shirt will be computer product Microsoft CoPilot+ PCs.

Snapdragon’s shirt sponsorship is worth £59million ($75m) a year, covering the men’s and women’s teams, as well as the academy.

It’s believed an option for two more seasons will be taken up, raising the total payment to United over five years to £294m ($375m).

Meanwhile, Ten Hag has a host of injury headaches for Saturday’s eye-catching opener to the campaign.

New £52million centre-back Leny Yoro has had foot surgery and striker Rasmus Hojlund also suffered a knock in the US.

Attackers Marcus Rashford and Antony had fitness scares too.

However, the main issue this weekend is doubts over three defenders – Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof and Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
