A good football club like Chelsea moved on Lukaku after one poor season. A bad club like Man Utd kept Pogba for 6 seasons even though it was obvious he was not fitting in. Why? They needed a high value player like Pogba to inflate the value of club to investors on NYSE. Same with Ronaldo. 2 of the Glazers had a windfall selling shares after Ronaldo joined the club. Glazers prevented Mourinho from selling Martial. Thats what Louis Van Gaal meant by "Commercial Club." They are running the club to the Ground.
They got to keep high value players as assets so they can get their big dividends which is why maguire can't be benched. While he is playing he is 80 million on the asset sheet Glazers couldn't care less about the share price they bought the club with finance they get their dividends without putting a penny in themselves. aslong as they keep big value signings playing the free money keeps rolling for them
No they aint, thats a lie, Liverpool has won more league titles, cups, and European cups than Barca. Barcelona is only bigger in terms of revenue and maybe fanbase
Won more trophies, been competitive consistently for longer, even in their barren spell they were competitive. Better and more supportive fan base, better stadium atmosphere, more European success and European appeal.
Even as a Madrid fan, I know Barça are bigger than Man Utd. Barça have more trophies, more fans, more *international* nostalgia, more Ballon d'Or winners/legends of the game, a more globally famous stadium... the only thing Simon said to claim Man Utd are bigger than Barça is that Man Utd are richer and play in the Prem. By that logic, Man City are bigger than Barça. Players take a step up in their careers by moving from Man Utd to Barça, not the other way around. The legendary Brazilians and Dutch are synonymous with Barça. The last All-Time great player at Man Utd was Ronaldo and he left for Madrid to begin the greatest Clasico rivalries we've ever seen. Man Utd are just Bayern Munich with more commercial success, but less stature and social media followers than Barça.
@@ASinghJ91 🤨 How do Man Utd have more fans than Madrid and Barça combined? Both those clubs have more followers than Man Utd on every single social media platform. If Man Utd are on Madrid and Barça's level, why do they have such little followers? Man Utd are trying to be like Madrid. Plus Madrid and Barça operate in multiple sports and supply All-Time great players to the NBA. Luka Doncic is believed by many to be the next Lebron James and he came from Real Madrid. Man Utd are focused solely on 1 sport and they're still behind teams focused on 6/7.
He was a genius, he appointed Moyes who is a good manager but not good enough for man utd just to show how good a job Fergie did with the likes of Jones, young, cleverley, smalling etc
@@galleon8129 He appointed someone who is far below his level just to show how good a job winning the league with Jones, Cleverley, Smalling and Young was
Prestige yes, but fanbase and commercial potential no. Real and Barca have hit their limit because the Spanish league is holding them in check. La Liga wanted to expand into the US market but playing La Liga fixtures in the US was blocked. Hence why Real and Barca are now so desperate to join a new Euro super league playing the English PL clubs. Whereas the EPL is by far the most popular and commercial league in the world.
Also, this tells a little story: 50 million on wan bisaka 80 million on maguire 90 million on pogba 43 million on falcao 60 million on di Maria 80 million on sancho 40 million on shaw 75 million on lukaku 50 million on martial 40 million on mata 40 million on matic 60 million on Bruno 40 million on varane 40 million on mikhiterian 40 million on van db 40 million on Bailey 35 million on schniderlin 35 million on herera 35 million on Sanchez 35 million on delay 35 million on fellani 20’million on dalot 35 million for diallo 20 million for rojo 20 million for darmian 20 million for Jones 20 million Dan James 20 million blind 20 million for kagawa 20 million tells 20 million zaha
And still they have enough money to buy flops of 100mil and 80 mill, this only shows that Man Utd are the biggest club in the world but their management is poor
Barca and Real are in a league of theirs. More UCL More league titles More ballon d'ors More prestige Both play the biggest rivalry match in world football Both are more valuable More social media follower's More legendary player's Literally every available metric united doesn't come close. English media with their usual bs 😂
It's a manufactured reality. If that Super League ever did come off they'd find out their true place. Under our heels. They have it too easy, season in season out, and they hardly won their last CL playing expansive football, did they. lol. They just got real lucky on the night. You know I'm right too.

But even with their lack of European success, United generates more revenue every year. Liverpool will definitely catch up and overtake them in a year or two. United have invested very poorly.

Manchester United are not bigger than Liverpool. Liverpool are not bigger than Manchester United. These are two top elite clubs that dominated for two decades respectively. Both have around the same trophies, and have global status.
Around same trophies yes, but different global status, LFC is like a minnow compared to man United, go to any football pub. Every fuckin newspaper , every fuckin player is being linked with them
I don't know what bigger means. Could me a lot of things. More fans, more money etc. It's one of those vague terms which has the goals moved every time its used.
Man Utd are in a bad phase and we all laugh at maguire but wasn’t long ago Liverpool went 30 years no titles so let’s stay humble because when Klopp leaves could be Liverpool we laugh at stay humble
I'm an Arsenal fan but I know mau United are the biggest club in the world, in Africa the most followed clubs are 1. Man utd, 2. Arsenal 3. Chelsea Liverpool are not as big as people think in Africa.
@@TheTrend222 If you were the biggest, De Jong would be busting a gut to join you, but he's not; he'd rather take a pay cut and miss out on large deferred payments at Barca than play for yous. Barca are bigger than you, and so are Madrid.
United only got bigger due to commercialisation of the game in the 90s. United sinking..today they look forward to Thursday night football and struggle to sign their no1 targets.
Think you might find they are equal on trophies, but Utd have 13 prem leagues to liverpools 1, until Liverpool win a few more prems they will always be behind Utd!
Simon is my favorite now. He’s genuinely balanced and tells the truth regardless . I’m in Africa, and Manchester United shirts dominate sports stores and United fans outnumber other fans. It’s not even close. EPL is synonymous to Manchester United atleast in Africa. I travelled throughout Africa.
@@afsoc4life you’re an Arsenal fan or Liverpool. You guys like to minimize the obvious on your streets. Majority of transportation bases advertise MU logo on the body for free 😂
Simon making a silly point about debt, Man United (and English football in general) have an entirely different ownership system than in Barcelona. Barca could solve their debt problem entirely because of the value of the club, not rich owners. Barcelona have been generating more or about the same revenue as united for the last 5+ years.
@@russellward4624 Utds debt is the glazers debt not the club? That's not how it works. The leveraged buyout transfers the owners debt onto the asset they are buying using that debt. Utd also only reported a 31 million surplus on their balance sheet last year and their debt has gone back up to 800 million pound. Having a debt that is 25x the amount of surplus revenue is terrible. Barca actually have much more in the way of intangible assets to sell off or leverage than united do.
I'm from Africa most people support arsenal and man utd as well as Chelsea we don't really know anything about Liverpool specifically ethiopian eritrean sudan and uganda

Of course everywhere Danny has travelled with liverpool he has seen Liverpool fans, does he realise Liverpool fans usually wait for the players/team whenever they come? Or did he just assume they were there randomly

Exactly, in 1990 Liverpool had 18 league titles, the closest to them was Arsenal with 8 and Man Utd with 7. Man Utd then won 13 league titles in 20 years which is an incredible achievement in itself but that doesn't make them bigger all of a sudden, because in our 30 year dry spell, we were still relevant and won major trophies.

English media and their delusional questions. 😂 In what world is Man Utd a bigger club than Barcelona? Not anywhere close to Barcelona's pedigree worldwide.
Go have your siesta and think about what you just said. Behave yourself. United and Liverpool are closer to Madrid than Barca. Barca are nothing compared to the greatest club even in their own, washed out league. Nowhere near close to Barcelona's pedigree? United had a European Cup 30 years before Barca. Liverpool had FOUR. Manchester United have, for over 80 years had an academy player in their starting 11 every single match. Talk to me again about pedigree without sounding like a complete imbecile, please.
@@andyhulme2274 lol. The only region in the world where Man United have more fans than Barcelona is the UK. Any other place around the world, Barcelona is miles clear of Man Utd. Barcelona's kit deal with Nike is worth £140m a year, while Man Utd's kit deal with Adidas is worth £75m a year. The levels are staggering. Also, social media followers and interactions across all platforms is clear for everyone to see. Barcelona is clear!
Manchester United have always used Liverpool as the yard stick by which they measure success. SAF made a career out of it. It still happens to this day. End of story.
That’s a really difficult question. Man U are one of the 3 giants of world football when it comes to capacity to generate revenue, global brand, international fan base and marketability. Liverpool can’t top that. Currently, Liverpool are the more successful, can attract the bigger names and are the more appealing club. Overall I’d have to say United are the bigger club though. If it stays as it is for the next decade then it may shift as Liverpool are the only club in England that can rival them in terms of global appeal. City and Chelsea may have more money but they don’t have the same gravitas as the 2 giants of English football.

Real Madrid, Barcelona are definitely bigger than Man Utd you could also argue maybe Bayern Munich? and Liverpool is debatable they do have 6 CL titles compared to Man Utd's 3
There’s no coincidence that uniteds decline started when the glazers took over, they’ve employed bankers to run a football club and now it’s a disaster on the pitch
The decline didn't happen when they took over, They won 5 Premier league's 1 champions league and 2 CL finals in the next 9 years. It happened when Fergie left and the replacements weren't up to task.
@@JamesG89 Fergie barely kept it together during that time, did you see the state of the team when he left? Yes SAF kept us challenging but the rot had started to set in behind the scenes
@@JamesG89 You are Wrong mate. Uniteds decline began when glazers took over. Tevez, Park, Berbatov, left who Fergie bought under ownership of Glazers disguised as the good guys, Ronaldo left, they played welbeck, Evans, Cleverly, Anderson, Rafael, fletcher and still won due to excellence of Fergie when he retired every thing collapsed. A team which used to play Scholes, Giggs, Roy keane, Beckhem, Nistelrooy played with lower talent and still won due to Fergie.
Are Manchester United BIGGER than Barcelona and Liverpool? Of course they are. They are the premier league's Real Madrid. Despite the fact that they have been poor (by their standards) in the last ten years, they still maintain the biggest fanbase worldwide with higher revenue turnover, more growth-potential than the Kopites and certainly Barcelona given their financial woes. Ive always considered the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal in the "second" tier of European Elites, sharing company with Ajax, Benfica and Inter Milan while United are a European Superclub and global powerhouse rivalled only by Real Madrid and to a lesser extent Bayern Munich and AC Milan.
wait why are we sharing the same bracket as arsenal inter milan and ajax great teams but doesn't compare to us especially arsenal no ucl but then again you're a everton fan so of course you will be bias towards liverpool.
Barcelona are more supported worldwide. And brings in bigger revenue overall. I can’t believe this is even a debate. Say what you want but facts are facts
@@lfcfacupglory3111 Ok, so a few points. Liverpool have one title in 30 years (one more than Everton, the same as Leicester), whereas United have over ten. Yes, you won the European Cup but 2005 was the club equivalent of Greece winning the Euros the prior year and in 2019 the final was contested between two teams who between them had no league wins in approx 70 years at that time. Ajax have 4 European cups, God only knows how many league titles, Arsenal have had more significant domestic success than LFC this century and Inter are one of the big 5 in Italy. As an Evertonian, I dont actually care that much about lfc (when Klopp goes you will be back to fighting for that coveted 7th place finish where you belong) but it does annoy me when Kopites start claimin they are bigger than the likes of Man U, Bayern or Barcelona.
@@exotic7232 I wouldnt neceesarily say Barca have more global fans. United are the most supported team in America, for example. I think Barcelona will soon fade due to their dodgy financial dealings and lack of interest in la liga. This will also effect their fanbase.
@@neilefc877 America isn’t the only place on earth and that’s a country that doesn’t even likes football and calls it soccer. United can keep those fans. But apart from America and England Barcelona dominates everywhere else.
Simon Jordan is right - toxic Vampires is a good one, but I still prefer to call them leeches. Until they are removed we will only get weaker, slowly but surely.
Nonsense. Utd will still be around, just as big and powerful long after those jokers are gone, and long after we are gone too. You're just going through a dip. It happens. Look at the past 100 plus years. When Liverpool are up there Utd are down, and vice versa. In 20 years time you'll be back up there, and we'll have a dip, in all likelihood.
In the 14 countries that I have been privileged enough to visit, I have to say that it’s Man Utd I’ve seen the most support for across the board. A lot of Barcelona out there too.
Here it is the problem. Man United as a Big club, needs to keep winning. Otherwise they will be a shadow of themselves. Fans overseas, like the winning teams. That's it
Manu United is a small team that lost his glory you can't compare it with Liverpool.Liverpool has won major trophies recently.I think Brighton at the moment is a bigger than Manu United 😜😜

Debatable now. Man utd built a big worldwide fanbase during the prem years of fergie success, but now Liverpool are probably doing the same. Liverpool are also now the most successful club in the country. There's an argument to be made that Liverpool are bigger than United.
It should be all of those things. Can't say you're a bigger club in you've won 5 Trophies 30 years ago but none since. Can't say you're a bigger club if you've only won 4 titles in the last 5 years but basically bottom half team or championship team the last 30 years.
@@meanbean1407 I just think its a pointless debate unless someone clearly defines a metric. “Big” is a bad way to describe clubs. Success, commercial worth, and fanbase size are all better than saying club A is bigger than club B. Unless ofc You are comparing real madrid to Wrexham
@@danzibar5431 I still consider Man U as a big club. Man U has all of those things. Not as much as the Player pulling power. If they stay the same for 2-4 years then I would drop them from that list. Liverpool is another big club. Even if they haven't won much in the last 30 years but they've been winning the last 3-4 years.
Jim's point about United signing Lewandowski is exactly why United fans are frustrated. They're big names, but nearing the end of their careers. Cavani, Ibrahimovic, Falcao, Ronaldo. Simon is spot on, we want the Glazers gone. It's all for commercial purposes, not for the benefit of the team.
Man Utd will be bigger for a while because they dominated football from the beginning of the commercial era but… if Liverpool continue to succeed and united are the opposite then surely it’s only a matter of time before the Liverpool brand takes over
Liverpool is bigger because what matters are trophies they have more trophies and higher qualities trophies. Real Madrid is biggest club though with 14 Cls
Yeah, that’s not how it works. The question is “bigger” not “won more” and thats typically when Liverpool fans start counting trophies that aren’t in the top three. It’s the League, FA Cup & European cup. Which is 35 for United and 33 for Liverpool. If you want to count league cups and European super cups etc it’s utterly pointless. It’s like counting the charity shield. Uniteds global fanbase is miles bigger than Liverpool’s. It’s taken a decade of United being run into the ground and Liverpool to be successful and get to 3 CL finals for Liverpool to merely match Uniteds turnover. Replace the Glazers with literally any other club owner outside Mike Ashley and the league will only be won by United & City for at least a decade as without the leaches United could’ve splashed £1.5bn extra on players and facilities from their own generated revenue alone nevermind the idea of outside investment. You’d have to replace liverpools owners with oil billionaires for them to have the same impact. That’s what the “size” of a club is. If run at it’s genuine peak. Where would it be? The answer for a Liverpool is “very successful” the answer for United is “dominant”. Things keep going the way they are Liverpool will definitely overtake over time though.
How many years have they been like this ? Without titles ? Too many for a big club. If they keep it like last season, 2 or 3 years more, the magic is over. You have to mantien the magic. People overseas just love wining teams. That's it

No that’s bull. Players who wanted to play for Barcelona or Madrid. Are 99% none English players who where fans of the clubs. Every kid has there club and if there club came for them they would choose them. You don’t ever hear about the English players going to Barcelona or Madrid.

@@mfjosh6422 No, it's not,they have like 16 more leagues than Milan, just because AC did well in Europe while being pumped by Juve consistently for around 5 decades, doesn't make Milan bigger.
Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Sancho, and Rashford are untouchable. Fernandez, Ronaldo, and Dalot are untouchable. You have the Portuguese in one corner and the British in another. Division in that dressing room is expected because you will have two sets of players pointing the finger at each other. Drop them all and play AWB, Bailly, Varane, Malacia, Fred, DVB, Eriksen, Elanga, Martial, and Garnacho consistently until the vibes change in that dressing room.
Faraz do some research and you'll see they are not. Agree that Real and Barca are more prestigious, all things being equal most players want to join them. However size of a club is usually based in finances and fan base. Both Liverpool and especially Man Utd have a far bigger fan base. You could go to Outer Mongolia on top of a mountain and you're still more likely to see a little kid wearing a Man Utd shirt, its incredible really. However their reputation is diminishing so who knows in future.
@@sheffsteel7 Where is this research you keep quoting? Mind citing some? Cause I can’t find a single metric by which Man United and Liverpool would be bigger than Real Madrid.
It's a bit of a petty argument of my club is bigger than your club. One thing is clear though and that is Man United have always been the media's darlings even if they do get some criticism. Klopp made comments a few years back questioning where United get their money from. Obviously knowing that they are a massive club but any club will struggle if they are not competing in the biggest competitions. A journalist joked years ago that if an investigation on United was done that it would be very interesting and jokes them being a State-owned club. They became successful at the right time when the proper big money came into the game with Sky. I've always found a large portion of their fan base to be casual fans. It's almost fashionable to support United and we're seeing the same thing with City. Always thought that Manchester in general has a lot of strings pulled in its favour. Liverpool on the other hand are one of the world's elite clubs and in my experience have more genuine fans. Everyone knows that there is a lot of hate towards Liverpool and the media has a big part to play in that. Rival fans will point to other events obviously. Having a few ex-Liverpool players in punditry doesn't hide the hatred towards the club. Who's bigger? Both are huge clubs so it's kind of irrelevant. Many things can easily be manipulated. For me Liverpool fan I look at things like - ANFIELD KOP END THE FLAGS, SONGS AND ATMOSPHERE ON BIG EUROPEAN NIGHTS. Check out Talksport, Sky Sports, any UK news papers or the Internet in general and you'll see how they try to sell Man United to the public. All the main stories, whether good or bad, will have United in the headline most of the time. I don't think any club has pumped anywhere near the money as that club in trying to sell itself. I heard many people refer to them as PR-CHESTER UNITED which kind of hits the nail on the head.
The fact this is even a discussion means there is very little between the clubs. I will use one stat myself. Man Utd versus Melbourne at the MCG in July 2022: 74,000. Liverpool versus Melbourne at the MCG in July 2013 pre Klopp: 95000. Liverpool sold out a 95,000 seater in less than an hour. Man Utd couldn't give the tickets away. You can google the attendances yourselves.
Manchester United historically are bigger Than Fatza for sure, because Farza only became known in the late 80s and early 90s, Liverpool became Known in the 70s and big, While Manchester United Have been big since the late 50s early 60s.
for Once I Agree with Simon Jordan, you can't compare what United moves and dictates as a Club around the world ! they still remain the most Followed Football Club In the World!
Yet the sneaky bastards get away with it. If a club is 500-600 million in debt, how can they sign those 3 players on time, so that they can play when la liga starts. There are more loopholes in that leagues financial fair play rules, than there are holes in a fishing net. Barca and Real Madrid get away with murder in that league. How can the rest of the clubs in Spain, compete with a rigged system?
Utd have the most fans but I don’t think you can call us the biggest when players don’t ever want to come to us and our owners won’t spend big on transfers
Real and Barcelona don’t need champions league football to attract players. Ronaldinho chose Barcelona when they didn’t qualify for champions league over United. Ronaldo left United for a declining Real who got annihilated by Liverpool in 2009.
@@alexanderdesouza1609 that's because La Liga is only a two team league and Real and Barca get all the money in that league, so there's no danger of them being outside of the Champions League

He’s spot on. At the moment the Premier League exploded and went from strength to strength Man United were the dominant force and the poster boys. Struggling at the moment on the pitch but football is cicular as they’ll come back. Off the field their commercial operation is an absolute juggernaut
United are still by far the biggest and most talked about team in the country. It’s like the Dallas cowboys in the Nfl they haven’t won a super bowl since 1995 and they are still easily the biggest NFL franchise
That can only be maintained for so long.the longer they go not competeing, the more the news cycle gets stale. Ppl all round the world follow the big teams. Already there will be younger kids in the likes of Thailand and Africa pulling on city jerseys. Utds trouble is they will never be the biggest club in Manchester anymore so how can they continue to be the biggest club in the world
Man Utd are still the biggest club in the world with only Real Madrid who can seriously challenge them. However the trend is their powers of attraction are diminishing with other clubs closing the gap. That's reason for concern. Also regards Real and Barca they aren't as big as people think because the Spanish league doesnt have the same attraction as the PL, thats the reason why the Spanish giants are desperate to join a European Super league.
Simon Jordan needs to look at the training facilities which haven't been upgraded in 15 years and Old Trafford is falling apart, they've hired the worst people to run the club. Then tell the fans how the Glazers are great owners
Manchester United will forever be one of the biggest club in the world whether people like it or not. Pedigree is not all about winning every season but the totality of the history of the club.
The totality of football history isn’t that long though. You’re only talking a little over 100 years really and most people only concentrate on the years from the 1960s onwards when the game started to be regularly televised.
People are confused why they are saying Man Utd are bigger than Barcelona. Let me explain. Barcelona weren't always the best team in the world. Real Madrid Outclassed them totally back in the days for years. Most of barca's success came recently. Look at how many UCL they had in the late 80s 90s. Man Utd were the first English club to win UCL, they won Treble in PL. Dominating PL isn't a joke. The won along with making world class celebrity like players such a Best, Becks and CR7, Barca do had legendary players later but they were always overshadowed by Real Madrid. Simply it's the league they compete in. United dominating like they did in PL is no joke.
Barcelona is not bigger than liverpool! Liverpool (who i hate) have more European glory, more finals reached, more league cups than barca! Fanbase wise Man Utd is second to only Real Madrid or might even be first, in Asia & Africa were 70% of the world resides, Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea & Barcelona dominate in fanbase. This is all public information
Barca is def bigger than Liverpool. In almost every metric - more major trophies, fan base, money generated, historical/legendary players + Liverpool's top talent dream of playing for either Barca or Madrid. The only thing that Liverpool has Barca beat in is UCL trophies which is only by one.
