ERJ staff report (TP)

Moscow, Russia – Federal Tyres, the official tire partner of Manchester United football club, will exhibit at the Moscow International Automobile Salon [MIAS] this month.

MIAS is expected to attract over one million guests from 27 August to 7 September. Federal will be there and says it will receive a “helping hand from a mystery Manchester United legend”.

It will also be hosting its 60th anniversary celebration at its stand on 30 August.

The company will showcase its latest products, but said its “star attraction” will be the yet-to-be-named Manchester United “legend”, who is set to appear at the Federal stand on 30 and 31 August.

The Taiwanese company will run an online competition to win a shirt signed by the Manchester United first team by guessing the identity of the “legend” in the build-up to MIAS.

Federal said: “To be in with a chance to win a Manchester United shirt signed by the entire first-team squad for the 2013/2014 season, check out the clues posted every Monday and Friday on the Federal Tyres website, Facebook page, VK page and Twitter feed.

“To enter, write the name of the Manchester United legend on our walls or tweet us using the hashtag #AwakenTheChampion. Correct answers will be entered into the prize draw, with the winner announced on 25 August.”
