Manchester United and the New York Yankees agreed to a strategic partnership in 2001; the Chelsea-AEG deal is more extensive. Young pitchers in the Yankee farm system aren't likely to visit Old Trafford; but in addition to Chelsea playing games in the U.S. and other marketing tie-ins, the alliance with L.A. Galaxy could include the sharing of players on loans and training programs.
