“A new age of Pax Britannica has begun, at least in football. English football powerhouses like Manchester United have established business relationships all over the world, from Southeast Asia to South America. At superstores, with TV contracts, and with corporate sponsorships, United reaps the rewards of its stirring history and unsurpassed modern record. How well United establishes its global outposts could determine the future of football in England, Europe and beyond.”
