They may have suffered their worst season in Premier League history but Manchester United have rocketed into second place in a list of the world’s wealthiest football clubs.
Despite a campaign of turmoil, which saw David Moyes sacked as they struggled to adapt to life without Sir Alex Ferguson and finished seventh, United are behind only Real Madrid in the Deloitte’s Football Money League.
The Old Trafford outfit leapfrogged European superpowers Bayern Munich and Barcelona after their revenues rose from to £433.2m from £363.2m.
Premier League champions Manchester City remain the second-richest English club, in sixth place globally behind Paris Saint Germain.
League leaders Chelsea remain in seventh, ahead of Arsenal in eighth. Liverpool, no doubt buouyed by last season’s ultimately unsuccessful title tilt, rise from 12th place to ninth overtaking Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan.
