India's Sahara Group is in advanced talks with Manchester United to become the new shirt sponsors of the English Premiership champions, domestic media reported on Thursday.

"The chairman (Subrata Roy) is going to London on June 5 to finalise the deal," an unnamed official of the multi-business conglomerate told the Mumbai-based DNA daily.

"We think that if we can sponsor such a huge club it will give an opportunity for Indian footballers to play as well," the official added.

However, a company spokesman said Sahara had not made much headway on the proposal received from the club in January.

"There is no progress on the issue," spokesman Abhijit Sarkar said when contacted.

The paper said some issues regarding revenue sharing and whether Sahara would have the reach needed to cater to the world club champions' global fanbase were yet to be discussed.

United is seeking a new sponsor after troubled American insurance giant AIG announced in January it would not renew its four-year $100 million deal which runs until 2010. The Sahara Group, also sponsors of the Indian cricket team, are hopeful the deal would go through as Manchester United can expand its fanbase in the region. "Apart from the Asian market, they can expand their fan base in India which is a huge market for them," the official told DNA.

The Sahara is an unlisted group with interests from financial services to real estate.

Manchester United had also sent a shirt sponsorship proposal in March to Indian conglomerate Tata group.

"There are various sponsorship options, one for the team shirt. This has been going on for some time but nothing has been finalised," a brand consultant of the group told Reuters in March.

The Tata Group has interests spanning steel, cars, information technology, communication, power, tea and hotels. Tata Consultancy Services, the software arm of the group, is one of the sponsors of the Ferrari Formula One team.

just managed to grab the ticks along with training pass.. all training pass sold out d. i bought 2 tickets.. 98 bucks.. green and blue gate.. can anyone tell me wats the different between those gates? different seating is it?

Capello seems to know how to get the best out of him, I hoped SAF will give him the opportunity in the next season.

Manchester United accepted Cristiano Ronaldo transfer offer from Real Madrid.

I will say: Goodbye Ronaldo, please prepare United fans boo you if you return Old Trafford.

Cristiano Ronaldo, he is same as Gabriel Heinze, he is traitor who betrays Manchester United. He will never gain honour like David Beckham or Ruud van Nistelrooy.

A player who over react while substitute off, a player who criticism manager after lost in Champions League Final, a player who refused to wear United tie after defeated by Barcelona.....We don't need this player.

Go, go Ronaldo.....I will booed in future.

We don't need you. We are MANCHESTER UNITED. The best club in the world.

ljajic is only 17.. he wont be in regular starting 11 for atleast 2-3 years..

We'll buy Valencia(the player, not club), and the internet would explode. I know I won't be too happy with that. But looks like SAF is interested according to Wigan's chairman(Dave Whelan)..

Would you guys be happy with that?

He's no better than Nani for me, although right now he's far more consistent.

Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan has confirmed that Manchester United have made a series of bids for Ecuador winger Antonio Valencia and he expects another cash offer to arrive shortly.

United, who accepted a world-record £80m bid from Real Madrid for Cristiano Ronaldo on Thursday, are in the market for a replacement for the Bernabeu-bound World Player of the Year and Valencia is one of the names on their hit-list.

"They (United) have been in touch with us and we will be starting negotiations very shortly, I would imagine," Whelan told Sky Sports News.

"I think they were waiting to see if Ronaldo actually went to Real, which has happened. Things will develop over the next seven to 14 days.

"United have been in touch with us over Antonio for the last two or three months, expressing an interest and actually putting cash offers on the table."

A figure of around £15m is expected to be enough to secure the services of the 23-year-old winger, but Whelan added that his club are not resigned to losing Valencia just yet.

The Wigan chief said: "We are not desperate to sell Antonio, I'm telling you. If I can keep that lad, I'm going to keep him. He is one brilliant player."
