Manchester United top rich list


Manchester United are the most valuable football club in the world, according to Forbes magazine.

The Champions League finalists, who came second in a list compiled by accountants Deloitte in February, topped the table ahead of Real Madrid.

Forbes value United at £905m ($1,800m) and Real at £646m ($1,285m), with Arsenal at £603m ($1,200m) in third.

Liverpool are up to fourth from 11th in the 25-team list, while Celtic are the only Scottish team, in 20th place.


The other British representatives in the 25-team list are Chelsea in eighth, fellow Londoners Tottenham in 12th and 16th-placed Newcastle, while Everton, West Ham, Manchester City and Aston Villa occupy places 21-24.

Meanwhile, David Beckham has replaced Ronaldinho as the world's highest-paid footballer after joining the Los Angeles Galaxy, earning £25m per year ($48.9m).

The Brazilian had to be content with second place while his Barcelona team-mate Thierry Henry earned £12.5m in salary and sponsorship deals this season.

we still could do with some kind of big investment in arsenal then we would be a force to be reconded with..

we have a lot of debt from moving to the new stadium and dont have as much money to spend on big players as the likes of man u, chelsea, liverpool.. maybe we will get someone in that wants to put more money into the squad

Of course it doesn't matter to us fans who's the best. It's all about big business and how much of our cash these fat cats steal from us lol
