Manchester United have regained their title as the world's most popular club after selling more replica football shirts than any other club, according to new data.
According to industry insider and veteran analyst Dr Peter Rohlmann and his team at PR Marketing, the Red devils sold an average of 1.75 million shirts a year in the five-season period between 2011 and 2016.
Real Madrid are in second place with 100,000 fewer shirts sales, while Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Chelsea make up the rest of the top five according to the data.
Liverpool are sixth with an average of 852,000 shirt sales while City finished in 13th place with 342,000 replica shirt sales over the five-season period.
Rohlmann, who has authored a number of in-depth studies into kit supply deals and sales by Europe’s elite clubs, has not been surprised by the staggering figures.He said:
“Generally, the sales of replica shirts have increased at a constant growth rate, football jerseys are more popular than ever and their attractive designs increasingly mean fans want to wear them away from match days."
