MISTER POTATO : MEET DAVID MAY
Semalam (8 Februari 2012), telah berlangung satu majlis ringkas di mana pengeluar snek terkemuka negara, Mister Potato dan dengan kerjasama pasukan bolasepak ternama, Manchester United telah menerbangkan bekas bintang Manchester United yang terkenal, David May ke Malaysia.
Menerusi tajaan Rakan Global Manchester United, Mister Potato, bekas pemain itu diterbangkan khas untuk bertemu dengan peminat fanatik Manchester United di pejabat Mamee Double Decker di mana peminat menunggu lebih sejam di situ.
Selama 8 tahun beraksi bersama Manchester United, David May tetap berbangga dengan trofi yang berjaya dijulangnya. Paling manis, sudah pasti pada musim 1999 ketika United muncul juara travel setelah mengungguli liga FA dan liga juara-juara Eropah.
Kunjungan David May ini adalah kesinambungan daripada kerjasama dua belah pihak iaitu antara Mister Potato dengan Manchester United di mana Mister Potato adalah Rakan Snek Rasmi Global Manchester United.
Menurut Pengurus Penajaan dan Aktivasi Mamee Double Decker (M) Berhad, Sharszany Shahry Abu Shahriman berkata:
“Mister Potato selaku Rakan Snek Rasmi Global Manchester United amat berbangga dapat membawa dua bekas pemain Manchester United iaitu David May dan Gary Neville (8 Januari 2012) untuk para peminat Manchester United di Malaysia. Namun demikian, Mister Potato juga ingin dikenali sebagai jenama produk yang fokus terhadap dunia bolasepak secara keseluruhan kerana pada masa akan datang, kempen-kempen Mister Potato akan datang akan turut menitikberatkan dunia bolasepak tempatan apatah lagi setelah kejayaan negara kita menjulang Piala AFF Suzuki dan Sea Games.”
Majlis turut dimeriahkan dengan kehadiran ramai peminat setia Manchester United yang tak sabar untuk bertemu mata dan sesi meet & greet sambil bergambar dan autograf dengan bekas pemain United era 1994 – 2003 itu. Rata-rata yang hadir telah mendaftarkan nama mereka di forum Meet & Greet David May bersama Mymanutd yang dibawakan untuk peminat bolasepak oleh Mister Potato!
