Manchester United are now officially the first football club to be worth over 1 Billion dollars.
these calculations around how much teams are worth are tricky.
it depends on how the economy is doing.
the other is that since the sell of clippers last year to Balmer for 2 billion all teams values has been inflated.
of course on a relative basis the U.S teams are worth more because the tax code is structure in a way
where they make a ton of money and they never pay taxes and get a ton of public sector subsidies.
The real reason why Sports teams values are becoming inflated is that they are the only
reliable component entertainment business that the internet has been unable to hurt in a serious way.

Man United brand worth over $1 billion to surpass Real Madrid - report
ESPN FC's Ross Dyer explains what changes the Premier League should make as a result of the 5 billion pound TV deal.
Manchester United's "brand" is the first to be worth over $1 billion, according to a report by Brand Finance, surpassing Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
The report lists the world's top 50 most valuable football brands in 2015, with United top of the list after they were ranked third in the previous edition.
United have a "brand value" of $1.206 billion, up from $739 million in 2014, to lift them above second-placed Bayern ($933m) and Real ($873m).
The Old Trafford club have benefited from lucrative sponsorship deals, such as their 10-year, $1.28 billion contract with Adidas -- the biggest deal in sports-licensing history.

I am not sure about that, United has lot of supporters in Asia and mainly in East Asia, China, Thiland, Japan, Korea and so on... I don't think they are all speaking English...
I can see Real and Barca have same kind of supporters but I don't think language would really matter and even amount of money you make. these people in far east are very poor but they die for United. anyhow, I think this ranking is base on the Brand basically like Nike, Addidas and so on. The Brand value is 1B but as far as the Team value goes, I think Real and Barca are slightly higher than United.

Well Madrid situation is not that great either, New Coach, most likely few new players. it might take couple of years for them to win any thing with the way that Barca is playing. So as far as winning trophies I think he has better chance at United, unless Real can win the CL somehow avoiding Barca...
LvG apparently interested in BM's Schweinsteiger and RM's Ramos according to BBC. Nothing against either olayer as they have achieved everything for club and country but seriously?!!!
