Forbes' annual list, external of the world's most valuable football teams ranks United second with a value of $6.6bn (£4.9bn), and a revenue of $834m (£620m) in the 2023-24 season.
According to Forbes, United's value increased by 1% despite finishing eighth in the Premier League table in 23-24 and failing to qualify for the Uefa Champions League.
United did win the FA Cup that season, whereas in 24-25 they finished 15th in the Premier League and lost the Uefa Europa League final.
Ruben Amorim's side will not play European football next season as a result.
Despite on-pitch struggles, debts of £1bn and losses of £113.2m reported in 23-24, United continue to benefit from having one of the strongest brands in all of sport.
The club has a massive global fanbase, built over two decades of dominance in the 1990s and 2000s.
