Manchester United has expanded its global network coverage through social media after LINE Corporation, the owner and operator of the free call and messaging app LINE, confirmed the launch of an official account for the world famous football club.
LINE is now offering an official account for Manchester United, through which users can receive latest news, video and imagery from the club.
Through the creation of the account, Manchester United will be able to engage with fans across the world using LINE’s global platform.
The 20-time champions of the Barclays Premier League have developed a fan base extending beyond England to places across the globe, and became the fastest sporting organisation to reach 50 million followers on Facebook earlier this year.
As of last month, the club has an online fanbase of over 65 million followers across social media platforms that also include Twitter, Google+, Instagram and Chinese channels Sina and Tencent Weibo.
