World's 30 most valuable clubs as Man Utd narrowly miss out on top spot and history made

Real Madrid have retained their spot as the most valuable football club in the world, narrowly beating Manchester United.

American business magazine Forbes have been publishing an annual list of the most valuable clubs since 2007 and history was made as several Major League Soccer (MLS) sides appeared on the list for the first time ever.

European champions Real retained their place as number one with a value of $6.07 billion (£4.9 billion), a significant jump from last year's $5.1 billion (£4.1 billion) valuation. United moved up to second place, leapfrogging Barcelona, with a $6 billion (£4.85 billion) value.
