Man U Signs Long-Term Deal with Pattni

Manchester United will now join FC Barcelona, Liverpool FC, Chelsea FC, Arsenal FC and the England national soccer team in the second series of Match-Stars figures.

Series two will feature some of the biggest players on the teams, including goalkeepers for the first time.

Each Match-Stars figure comes complete with an official replica kit for the new season featuring all club sponsors, as well as premier league name and numbering for English clubs.

The first series of Match-Stars soccer figures was launched in the U.K. and Mexico last year to test market reaction, and Pattni reports that sales surpassed expectations, leading increased production levels for series two.
