Man United Stars Shunning Free Chevrolet Vehicles in Favour of Flashier Models

Earlier this year, Manchester United signed a bumper £47 million sponsorship deal with Chevrolet, but such money does not buy you everything, as the American car manufacturer is starting to find out.

That is because Chevrolet is missing out on some much-coveted exposure, as the club's players are not interested in driving its cars.

That is, at least, according to a report in the Daily Mail, with a number of vehicles sent to United from Chevrolet sitting unused by the players at the club's training ground. 

As per the Mail's report: 

"

Manchester United's stars have continued to drive their Merecedes, Porsches and Range Rovers to and from training - despite club sponsors Chevrolet shipping in a fleet of vehicles specifically for that purpose.

The American manufacturer was hoping to gain some publicity from the likes of Wayne Rooney, Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao sitting behind the wheel of their cars.

But the transporter lorry-load of 15 - including Chevrolet Camaros and Stingrays - delivered in April sit unused in a corner of the Carrington car park.

"

The report goes on to cite a source at the club saying that the cars are only being used by training ground staff. 

Money can buy you many things in this world but not, it would seem, the attention of multimillion-pound footballers. 

Who knew?
