Manchester United is certainly one of the most successful clubs in the history of football. Valued around $4.6 billion, they are the record champions of the Premier League with 20 titles, whereas they also have 12 FA Cup titles, 5 League Cup titles and 3 European Cup/UEFA Champions League titles.

The team is going through a tough spell currently under the coaching of Eric Ten Hag, who joined them ahead of the current season. Despite a rough last few years, the popularity of the club has not gone down a bit, and a player like Cristiano Ronaldo plays for them.
