Man City sponsored by United?

As a huge football fan, and a supporter of Leeds United, I've recently found it hilarious to find out that Manchester City are sponsored by a company that in English means 'United'

Manchester City are sponsored by Etihad, the giant Abu Dhabi airline company. Etihad translated into English effectively means United. This intern means that City are sponsored by United and their stadium name translates as the United Stadium which could be seen as them being sponsored by their huge rivals Manchester United.



I just found it interesting as I am huge football fan and I found it quite ironic. If you want to find out more, check out the link http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/s/1426178_manchester-city-stadium-does-the-arabic-word-etihad-really-mean-united-in-english
