English Premier League champions Manchester United will present the trophy to fans at Kenyatta  International Convention Center on Monday.

United’s relationship manager Michael Higham and Sports Cabinet Secretary Dr Hassan Wario will attend the event.

The tour is part of a partnership between Manchester United and Airtel Kenya of developing talent in Kenya.

Premier League enthusiasts will have an opportunity to get close to the iconic trophy won under retired manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Airtel Kenya managing director Shivan Bhargava is confident the visit will draw more fans to the popular league.

“This visit is a special chance for Manchester United and English Premier League enthusiasts that may never get an opportunity to attend a live match in England to get up close and take photos,” Bhargava said.

Fan will be required to buy Airtel airtime worth Sh100 at the entrance.
