How much for Manchester United? That'll be $3 billion. Via HITC SPORT

Forbes Magazine has valued Manchester United at $3.3 billion if you have that free as spare change!
Manchester United have been valued at over $3 billion, becoming the first football club in history to top that value.

It makes the Glazer owned club the most valuable team in sport and the large financial fee for anyone looking to buy the club is down to a variety of reasons.


United’s constant success has kept them at the top of the game in England and across Europe for a number of years, spanning numerous decades.
What this allows United to do is justify a constant high price range for various match day essentials such as tickets and sustenance. This all adds to the revenue and the value of the club.
The global brand of Manchester United is also more widespread than ever before with the club enjoying support bases in different countries and continents around the world.
It’s estimated that United have around 659 million fans around the world across all countries which makes them one of the most highly supported sports teams in history.
This increases the commercial aspect of the club in terms of sponsorship, advertising, creating an incredibly strong financial spine to the club, almost making it an immensely valuable commodity over anything else.
Sponsors know when they sign a deal with United that they are not just projecting themselves into the English market but markets in every country that the club has some sort of base in.
The Glazer family’s decision to float ten per cent of the club on the stock market has also increased the value of the football club.
Initially shares were selling in the United States for a fee of $14 per share to anyone wishing to buy them.
The continued success and consistency of the club in any aspect means the share value has risen to $17 which increases the value of the club, taking the current share values into consideration.
Some fans have debated the financial problems which have been caused by the Glazer’s who used borrowed money to originally buy the club. However, they cannot argue against the fact that United have been well developed in a business sense.

What do you see as the reasons behind United’s financial position?

25. Stephane Ruffier, Saint-Etienne Had Stephane Ruffier not sustained a groin injury in 2011, Monaco might never have been relegated to Ligue 2. But he did, and they were, and that summer the then-24-year-old goalkeeper joined Saint-Etienne, rebuffing Manchester City in the progress. This season he played all 38 Ligue 1 matches for Les Verts for a second season in succession, conceding just 32 goals as his side finished a surprising fifth in the standings and qualified for the Europa League. 24. Pepe Reina, Liverpool Only Joe Hart kept more Premier League clean sheets than Pepe Reina in 2012-13. In a season that saw Liverpool finish a disappointing seventh in the English top-flight, the 30-year-old managed to keep things respectable from a defensive standpoint, conceding only 34 goals and stopping 88 per cent of the shots he faced. To finish the season he conceded just a single goal in his last four matches. 23. Mariano Andujar, Catania Only Parma managed ...

The Happy Di Matteo..!

Roberto Di Matteo watched his attacking stars inspire a 5-4 extra-time victory over Manchester United and he preferred to savour a second night of high-scoring league cup thrills rather than focus on "the other stuff" in football. The Chelsea manager did not need to spell out what he meant, in the wake of the league fixture against United on Sunday, when his team's controversial 3-2 home defeat was followed by the allegation that the referee Mark Clattenburg had racially abused Mikel John Obi. There had also been spite in the stands. Di Matteo focused on the flair and spirit that his team had shown here, when they came from behind three times to force the extra period, with the substitute Eden Hazard scoring from the penalty spot with the very last kick of normal time. Hazard's quick feet and sumptuous reverse pass created what proved to be the decisive fifth goal late in extra-time for Ramires. "Over the last two days we have seen...

While promoting “The Voice” in Pasadena, California, on Monday, the blond bombshell revealed, "[Losing baby weight] is the only thing that’s been a little stressful … I knew I had to come back here to do ‘The Voice’ two months after I had delivered a baby.

I’m not trying to complain, but it’s been a process full of challenges.” Photo source: omg INSIDER & Yahoo The 36-year-old mama added that the pressure to shed the baby weight at record speed is something that she feels the previous generations didn't face.
