Manchester United have returned to first place in the Deloitte Football Money League for the first time in 13 years, breaking Real Madrid's 11-year stranglehold on top spot with record revenue.

The Money League has listed the top 20 clubs in the world for revenue in each season since 1996/97.

In the latest edition, with figures relating to 2015/16, the combined revenue for the 20 richest clubs in the world grew 12 per cent to £5.5 billion, a new record.

United top the list with revenue of £515.3 million, the highest ever by a football club in a season in the Money League's 20-year history.

Real Madrid drop to third place after 11 years at the top of the Money League, despite breaking the £450m barrier for the first time ever. Barcelona rank second with revenue only marginally greater than that of Real Madrid.
