Manchester United squad parades new season TAG Heuer models to 659 million fans

Manchester United reportedly has 659 million fans around the world, making TAG Heuer’s Official Timekeeper status at the club a cornerstone of its global marketing plans.

Ahead of the 2018-19 Premier League season, which TAG Heuer also sponsors, the watchmaker has unveiled two Manchester United special editions from its Carrera Heuer and Heuer Formula 1 families.
