Man Utd are most valuable team in Premier League as Arsenal leapfrog rivals but Chelsea drop despite Boehly takeover
MANCHESTER UNITED have been revealed to be the most valuable club in the Premier League.
A study by Sportico has shown that the club’s values have significantly risen due to the total value of the Premier League’s media rights increasing.
Value of clubs have also been boosted with the return of fans to stadiums following the Covid-19 pandemic.
During the pandemic, revenues dropped due to games having to be played behind closed doors.
Now the study as revealed the club of the Premier League clubs with the Red Devils, coming out on top with a value of £4.8billion.
They beat rivals Liverpool to the top spot, with the Anfield side’s value coming in at £3.8bn.
It is an important time for the clubs to learn their value as both of them have been put up for sale by their owners.
United’s owners, the Glazers, want to sell their shares in the club by March and have their own price tag of £7bn.
One interested party is club fan, Sir Jim Ratcliffe who is a suitor that wants to own the Old Trafford side.
