United in the Rich List Again

Manchester United could overhaul Spanish giants Real Madrid as the world's biggest revenue generating club within two seasons, according to business advisory firm Deloitte.

Real remain at the top of Deloitte's Football Money League for the third successive year on the latest figures available, from the 2006-07 season, which showed their revenue increased by 20 per cent to £236million.

However, United enjoyed an even bigger percentage increase to come in second at £212million, two places up on the previous season and ahead of Barcelona, Chelsea and Arsenal in third, fourth and fifth respectively. Liverpool make it in the Top 10.
