The Manchester City Football Club has launched a new online campaign, calling on internet users in China to choose a new name for a giant panda the English Premier¹ League club recently adopted in Chengdu, reports the Chengdu Commercial Daily.

曼彻斯特城足球俱乐部发起一场网络活动，号召中国网民为英超足球俱乐部最近收养的大熊猫起新名。

Well over 300 suggestions have already been submitted since the campaign's launch on December 15, 2018 through iPanda, a video website featuring giant pandas. One of first submissions² was "Fu Man." "Fu" would be derived³ from the cub⁴'s original name, "Fushun," while "Man" would be a reference to Manchester.

The Manchester-based club decided⁵ to foster the panda cub when Paul Dickov and other team members visited the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in Sichuan Province in October. The club made a public donation of 100,000 yuan (around 14,500 U.S. dollars) to the research base at that time, allowing it to adopt the panda for a year. Manchester City has now gained its adoption⁶ certificate.

The two-year-old panda is already popular online, gaining world-wide attention for a video showing the cub fall face-first off a stage during its first public display in September, 2016. A photo capturing the incident was in the running for Pictures of the Year in 2016 among major media outlets⁷ including Reuters, Time, and The Atlantic Monthly.
