Man Utd fall from 2nd to 6th behind Real Madrid and Barcelona in Forbes most valuable teams list

Manchester United have fallen from second to sixth in Forbes' list of the world's most valuable sports teams. The Red Devils have tumbled four spots and are now behind Clasico giants Real Madrid (third) and Barcelona (fourth) who have retained their respective positions from 2018.

Five other football teams make the top 50, namely Bayern Munich (17th), Manchester City (25th), Chelsea (32nd), Arsenal (42nd) and Liverpool (45th).

NFL side Dallas Cowboys have retained their place at No.1 for the fourth successive year with a value of $5billion.

Legendary baseball side New York Yankees ($4.6b) are second with basketball team New York Knicks ($4b) completing the top five behind Real ($4.24b) and Barca ($4.02b).
