Manchester United have been named the world's second most valuable football club behind only Real Madrid despite their recent struggles on the pitch.

Forbes' annual list, external of the world's most valuable football teams ranks United second with a value of $6.6bn (£4.9bn), and a revenue of $834m (£620m) in the 2023-24 season.

According to Forbes, United's value increased by 1% despite finishing eighth in the Premier League table in 23-24 and failing to qualify for the Uefa Champions League. United did win the FA Cup that season, whereas in 24-25 they finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Uefa Europa League final. Ruben Amorim's side will not play European football next season as a result.

Despite on-pitch struggles, debts of £1bn and losses of £113.2m reported in 23-24, United continue to benefit from having one of the strongest brands in all of sport. The club has a massive global fanbase, built over two decades of dominance in the 1990s and 2000s.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe initiated cost-saving measures after he became a minority owner of the club last year. Last summer, around 250 staff were made redundant, saving the club an estimated £8m-£10m. A further 200 staff could lose their jobs this summer. In March, United revealed plans for a new £2bn stadium on the site of Old Trafford.

Real Madrid top the rankings with a value of $6.75bn and revenue of $1.129bn, while Barcelona are third. Manchester City boasted the second largest revenue in 23-24 ($901m), but are fifth in terms of total value ($5.3bn), a 4% rise on the previous year. Liverpool are the fourth most valuable football club in the world with a value of $5.4bn) and a revenue of $773m in 23-24.

Chelsea FC once struggled to get sponsors (which would have offset some of their expenses, hence their worth), that was why the club invested in young players with the hope of future gain in the transfer market.
But for now, Cole Palmer seems to be the only player who could generate the needed income via transfer.

N.B
Trophies don't bring the needed income, Transfer Market does.

Chelsea don suffer

I thought by now, Man U would have fallen from grace to have financially...

This list is fake without eyimba FC of ABA

Man U at 2nd??

Make them use this one console themselves as achievement this season. E no easy

Think Manchester United with little success since Sir Alex retired shows they are the biggest club in the world.

Exactly. We invested in publicity during our glory days and that's what's paying off now.

I read somewhere that the club makes hundreds of millions of dollars from jesery sales alone across the world.

This is no surprise to anyone. Even a common London banter is that Spurs stadium alone is more valuable than Chelsea's entire worth but that's mere yabbis. Spurs is a very financially frugal club.
