Manchester United are the richest club in world footballPA:Press AssociationManchester City owner Sheikh Mansour will be delighted to see his side have the highest grown in revenue in world football
Rivals Man City are currently the fifth richest club in world football earning £392.6m but mega-rich Arab owner Sheikh Mansour will be more than encouraged by the club’s staggering growth.
Keep up-to-date with all the latest transfer news and gossip ahead of the January window with SunSport’s daily LIVE blog.
10 years ago, one year before the current owners took over, the club earned just £62.1m which has continued to grow over the decade – a total growth of 629 per cent.
The staggering rise in TV money and huge sponsorship deals in the Premier League have allowed top clubs to splash huge amounts of cash – just like United’s world record £89m switch for Paul Pogba.
On the other hand out of the 10 richest clubs in the world, Chelsea have the smallest growth over the decade.
