Chinese soft drinks manufacturer Wahaha and one of China's prominent banking groups, China Construction Bank, have both signed three-year deals with the Red Devils.
"Manchester United has a long association with China, visiting 11 times to play friendly matches," said United commercial director Richard Arnold.
"The first time was in 1975 and the most recent visit in August last year.
"Sir Alex and his team were overwhelmed with the welcome they received from fans who packed the stadium in Shanghai."
The news follows on closely from the whopping £357million, seven-year shirt deal United struck with Chevrolet, which will come into effect in 2014.
