Englis­h giant’s revenu­e of €676 millio­n beats second-placed Real’s by only €1.7 millio­nLONDON: Manchester United narrowly pipped Real Madrid to remain the top revenue-generating club in the world as Premier League sides underlined their growing financial clout, Deloitte’s “Money League” report said on Tuesday. It is the 10th time United have topped Deloitte’s list, with a revenue in 2016-17 of €676 million — just €1.7 million ahead of the Spanish giants. Barcelona — one of Sanchez’s former clubs — are third in the 21st edition of the list compiled by the British-based business advisory firm, followed by Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Arsenal. Combined revenue for the top 20 Money League clubs in the 2016/17 season grew six per cent to €7.9 billion, a new record. Deloitte Football Money LeagueNote: The first figure in brackets is the club’s position in 2015-2016 and the second is their revenue in that period.
