COVID-19 has had a huge impact on football clubs’ worth, no doubt.
But Manchester United are still the most valuable brand in the Premier League.
Despite the pandemic, the Red Devils are worth a whopping £1.07bn, according to research conducted by Safe Betting Sites.
Their nearest rivals on and off the pitch are Premier League champions Liverpool, who are valued at £1.02bn.
While Tottenham are a bigger commercial entity than their North London enemies Arsenal.
CITY SLUMP
Losing out to Liverpool in an exciting title race has seen Manchester City’s stock fall off the pitch too.
The Reds aided their worth by landing the Champions League in 2019, as well.
Last year, Manchester City WERE worth more than Jurgen Klopp’s men with a value of £1.03bn.

It’s their lowest total since 2017.

MISFIRING GUNNERS
Gone are the years when Tottenham used to live in the shadow of their North London neighbours Arsenal.
The Gunners endured a miserable campaign last season, and have missed out on an all-important Champions League since 2017.
That has severely impacted the club’s worth – as they’ve dropped from being valued at £791m in 2018 to £583m in 2020.

Spurs, on the other hand, have gone from strength to strength in a golden period in their history – reaching a Champions League final in 2019.
They also moved into, arguably, the best stadium in the country that same year.
Tottenham are now worth £635m – that’s an insane jump from the £264m they were worth just five years ago.
