Forbes 2018: Top 10 most valuable football clubs

#1 Manchester United

Manchester United v Crystal Palace - Premier League

Current Value: $4.123 B

In defiance of a majorly disappointing season, Manchester United have topped the Forbes' list for the second successive year.

Last year, the Red Devils' value was calculated to be $3.69 billion which has secured an increment of 12%.

Nonetheless, they have the second-highest net debt value on this list of 18%, only a per cent less than Tottenham Hotspur.

The club also has the highest operating income of $254 million and a revenue of $737 million.

Their nonpareil valuation is mainly a consequence of $1374 million worth of commercial revenue and $1146 million worth of broadcasting revenue.

Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers."
