(Yicai Global) Jan. 9 -- Manchester United Football Club, commonly known as Man United, will partner with a Chinese property developer Huarui Century Investment and Development to open themed experience centers across China, including one just a kilometer away from Beijing's historical center of Tiananmen Square.

Huarui penned an agreement with Manchester United to become the latter's sponsor, state-backed Xinhua News Agency reported, citing a statement given by the northwestern British soccer team yesterday.

The Liaoning province-based property developer will build the first group of centers in the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenyang, the last of which is the sponsor's hometown. The one in Beijing will be located on the old commercial street of Dashilan, south of the Forbidden City. The family of attractions is expected to open by the end of 2020. 

The centers will allow fans to experience the atmosphere of live games as if at Old Trafford, the team's home stadium. They may also learn from the history of the club via high-tech means and enjoy food at restaurants, as well as buy souvenirs.
