UEFA, the governing body of European football, has identified Manchester United, the Premier League behemoth, as possessing the most valuable squad in Europe.
This conclusion stems from UEFA’s analysis of the 2023 financial year, revealing Manchester United’s squad to hold the highest total financial value among all European football clubs.
As per a recent UEFA report gaining traction on February 15, Manchester United’s squad is presently valued at £1.21 billion.
This revelation arrives amid Manchester United’s struggles to secure titles and perform prominently in premier competitions like the UEFA Champions League and the Premier League.
Presently, Manchester United occupies the 6th position on the league table, accruing 41 points from 24 games, trailing 5th-placed Aston Villa by five points.
Their UEFA Champions League campaign for the 2023-2024 season concluded prematurely as they finished at the bottom of their group.
Following Manchester United closely is Manchester City, the reigning champions of the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup, whose squad holds a valuation of £1.1 billion.
