Toronto: Nine-time European champion Real Madrid have ended Manchester United’s run as the world’s most valuable football team, according to an annual survey released by Forbes.

The value of Real, a Spanish club owned by its thousands of members, surged 76 percent to $3.3bn from a year ago, Forbes said. 

United, who have won the EPL 19 times and are controlled by the American Glazer family, rose 42 percent to $3.2bn but dropped to second on the list for the first time since Forbes began tracking finances in 2004. REUTERS
