The Red Devils' revenue of €666 million (R12.7 billion) - the biggest in England the third-biggest in tehe world - outways the club's debt, which is a healthy balance.
Spurs' debt level, meanwhile, rose so much due to the construction of their new stadium, but it meant an investment of €555 million (R10.6 billion) in their fixed assets, having already invested a then-record of €257 million (R4.9 billion) in fixed assests in the financial year 2017.
Inter Milan complete the top three, with Italian giants having a net debt of €461 million (R8.76 million) – you can find the full overview in the gallery above.
