Manchester United’s world record £750million kit deal with Adidas, has seen them topple Real Madrid as the most valuable team in the world.

Just in April, Forbes Magazine valued the Red Devils at £1.77billion, making them the second most valuable team in the world at the time. But after the announcement of their 10-year deal with Adidas, their shares rose to almost 5% on Monday and Wall Street now values the Old Trafford outfit at £2.1billion.

The deal however does not begin until the beginning of next season. United also has a £53million-a-year deal with American car manufacturer Chevrolet.
