The Champions Credit Card (pictured) will replace the official Manchester United Credit Card launched earlier this season and offering 16 months at zero percent on balance transfers, until at least the start of the 2013-14 season.

The vibrant new card design features United's "Champions 2013" celebratory logo, something that has already become synonymous with the club's historic win.

The new card comes with Red Rewards, an array of benefits and incentives developed specifically for Manchester United fans. Plus, for every £50 spent on the card, the cardholder will be entered into a monthly prize draw with a chance to win a range of fantastic prizes, including club memorabilia signed by the first team and once-in-a-lifetime days out, including the chance to watch the first team train at United's training ground.

Michael Donald, MBNA's Business Development and Marketing executive, said; "Winning 20 league titles is a fantastic achievement, which is why we've worked closely with Manchester United to build this compelling '20 for 20' offer for eligible UK fans.

"This is the longest balance transfer offer we've ever launched for our sports card programmes in the UK, and this is particularly special to us as we're also celebrating our own '20' milestone - MBNA is celebrating 20 years in the UK this year."

* The Champions Credit Card offers zero percent interest for up to 20 months on balance transfers and money transfers made in the first 90 days of opening an account (handling fees apply).

The card also offers zero percent interest on purchases made in the first three months of account opening.
