Manchester United players and staff have received the keys to their new Chevrolets as part of a sponsorship deal with the club.
The choices made were characterized by the needs and lifestyles of the players, with the Chevrolet Captiva proving to be among the most popular.
In addition to taking delivery of their cars, some players also received special driving and safety tips from Corvette Racing driver Oliver Gavin, an experience that added further excitement to the vehicle hand-over.
Robin Van Persie, who opted for the Captiva, said: “I have two children, so this car is really good for me – it’s a family car. It looks very nice, it’s a good car.”
The 400-hp plus Camaro Convertible was the preferred choice for Wayne Rooney: “It’s great, it obviously looks great and I’m excited to drive it. I think when I saw them all together this was the one that suited me best, it looks nice and will drive well too. I chose a manual as I think it’s great to get full use from a sports car.”
Michael Carrick was pleased to get back behind the wheel of a sports car with his Corvette GS: “I used to have a Dodge Viper but haven’t had a sports car for a while so this is a great opportunity for me. When I got the chance to have this Corvette I snapped their hand off!”
