According to the Forbes Annual Rich List, United are worth £2.86 billion, with Barcelona next with £2.82bn and Real Madrid completing the top three worth £2.78bn.
Mike Ozanian, assistant managing editor at Forbes Media wrote: “The team’s return to the top spot is a testament to their powerful brand and marketing acumen.
“Manchester United generated revenue of £593m ($765m) during the 2015-16 season, £59.7m ($77m) more than both Barcelona and Real Madrid.
“[The club] brought in £314m ($405m) in advertising and sponsorship revenue, more than any other football team.
“And the Red Devils are also by far the most profitable football team in the world, posting operating income of £223m ($288m), £82.9m ($107m) more than runner-up Real Madrid.
“It will not be easy to overtake the Red Devils in the near future – by winning the Europa League this year, Manchester United qualified for the lucrative 2017-18 Champions League.”
Of the other English teams, Manchester City are fifth richest with a fortune of £1.61bn, with Arsenal sixth, Chelsea seventh, Liverpool eighth and Spurs 10th.
