Liverpool have overtaken Manchester United for the first time in Deloitte’s Money League.
The Reds have risen to third spot overall, up four places from seventh position in 2020-21, after posting revenues of £594.3million - up from £550.4m - in part down to their run to the Champions League final. It is the Merseysiders' highest-ever position in the survey's 26-year history, at a time when the club's owners, FSG, are looking for new investors in the club. Their growing revenues are only going to help them to attract fresh investment.
For their part, United were fifth last time out, boasting revenues of £558m. That figure rose rose to £583m for 2021-22, but wasn't enough to keep them from falling below their bitter rivals for the first time.
