Manchester United to top £1 BILLION in Premier league prize money as clubs prepare for bumper package

Manchester United are likely to be crowned the first Premier League club to have broken the £1billion barrier for prize money in the comings weeks.

A study by online spread betting firm Spreadex at the end of last season showed that United topped the table for all-time earnings since 1992-93 on £870.3million.

Clubs this term will bank between £100m for finishing bottom and more than £150m for finishing top, and United are currently sixth.
