MUTV branches out with Russia v France friendly

MUTV, the in-house television channel of English Premier League football club Manchester United, has acquired rights to the international friendly match between Russia and France.

The match kicks off today (Tuesday) at 4:50pm GMT and MUTV is providing the action for its subscribers in the UK and Ireland.

The match will be held at Saint-Petersburg Stadium, one of the venues for Russia’s staging of the 2018 Fifa World Cup, and United stars Paul Pogba (pictured) and Anthony Martial are expected to feature for France.

In July, United made MUTV available to all supporters in the UK and Ireland through a new streaming service at mutv.com.

The mutv.com service is accessible online via desktop, tablet and mobile devices and does not require a pay-television subscription to MUTV.
