[quote]Through the power of Football, Manchester United Foundation will develop our youngsters so that they are able to acquire qualities which will remain with them through life - being positive, believing in themselves, working hard and recognizing the importance of team work. These are all attributes which I instill every day in our players.[quote] said Sir Alex Ferguson.

We love working with Manchester United: they are extremely creative and concrete in their partnership approach and, like we do at Hublot, strongly believe in sharing and giving”
