#5 Manchester United (Premier League) - €858.25m
Manchester United have not won the Premier League or the UEFA Champions League since Sir Alex Ferguson’s farewell season in 2012-13. Still, against the odds, the Red Devils have maintained their stature as one of the most valuable clubs in the world.
Currently, Manchester United’s 29-man squad is valued at €858.25m, making them the fourth most valuable club in England. Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, and Marcus Rashford are the three most valuable players of the club, currently valued at €100m, €90m, and €85m, respectively.
Under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Manchester United finished the 2020-21 Premier League campaign in second place, which exceeded expectations. With Sancho being added to the attack this season, United will look to climb to the summit and dethrone their city rivals, Manchester City.
#4 Liverpool (Premier League) - €904.50m
Jurgen Klopp has taken Liverpool to great heights - leading the club to a Champions League and a Premier League title in two consecutive years. Last year, they struggled to get going, but that did not do much harm to their squad valuation.
With a current valuation of €904.50m, the Anfield outfit are the fourth-most valuable club in the world and third-most valuable in England. The Reds have one of the most fearsome attacking trios in the world right now in the form of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino, and Mohamed Salah. Add Diogo Jota to the mix, and you get an explosive recipe.
As expected, Mohamed Salah is the most valuable player in the squad, carrying a tag of €100m. Next up is Sadio Mane, who is valued at €85m, followed by Trent-Alexander Arnold, who is currently valued at €75m.
