Manchester United will report to the New York Stock Exchange this week that they are once again the richest club in world football.
United announced a record turnover for last season of £515.3 million yesterday, and in their report to investors in New York on Friday they will say that they earned even more than Barcelona and Real Madrid using the average Euro exchange rate throughout the year. The accounts have also revealed that midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is no longer considered part of United’s first-team squad, with the club having to write off his estimated value of £6.7 million.
It is 12 years since United last topped the table as the biggest-earning club in the world, but in January they were tipped to do so
