Real Madrid and Manchester United are both worth over $6billion, with six of the top 10 ranked clubs on the latest Forbes football rich list coming from the Premier League.
The business website values Real at $6.07bn [£4.9bn] with the reigning European champions hanging on to their top spot having increased their value by 19 per cent.
Forbes' valuation of United rocketed by 30 per cent to $6bn [£4.8bn] from last year amid a scramble to take over the Old Trafford club, which was put up for sale by the Glazer family last November.
