London: Manchester United has ranked the world’s most valuable football club, according to Forbes magazine.
The study estimates the Premier League champions are worth £1.4billion ($2.24 billion), which puts them top of the list for the eighth year in a row.
Real Madrid ranked second, valued at £1.17billion ($1.88 billion), while Barcelona are third with an estimated value of £1.07billion ($1.3 billion).
“Manchester United’s global fan base of 330m helps make them the most valuable team in any sport,” the magazine said.
Bayern Munich and Arsenal make up the top five in the rankings, with Chelsea and Liverpool ranked seventh and eighth respectively.
Forbes also revealed Manchester United are worth more than both Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees and the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, while the club’s run to last year’s Champions League final, where they lost to Barcelona, commanded a £50m payout from UEFA.
