　　Manchester United is the world's most valuable football brand, replacing Bayern Munich, according to a report from consultancy Brand Finance.

　　諮詢公司Brand Finance的報告稱，曼聯已取代拜仁慕尼黑成為世界最具價值的足球品牌。

　　雖然曼聯在上賽季依然沒能贏得任何獎盃，但這家以老特拉福德為主場的俱樂部的品牌仍被估價12億美元。

　　Six of the top ten most valuable club brands were English.

　　Barcelona, who won the Champions League final on Saturday, slipped two places from last year, to sixth most valuable club, worth $773m.

　　十大最有價值俱樂部品牌中，英格蘭俱樂部佔據了六席。

　　上週六贏得歐冠的巴塞羅那和去年相比下跌兩名，價值7億7300萬排名第六。

　　"Even if recent reports of fan losses are to be believed, United retains legions of followers in India, South East Asia and China, contributing to a total of over half a billion individuals and the news certainly does not appear to have deterred sponsors," said the report's authors.

　　They point to the club's lucrative shirt sponsorship deal with Chevrolet and "record breaking" kit supply deal with Adidas.

　　報告作者稱：“就算最近曼聯球迷數下降的訊息屬實，它仍然在印度、東南亞和中國佔有統治性地位。這些地區總共提供了超過5億球迷。這些***曼聯球迷數下降的***訊息顯然沒有嚇住贊助商們。”

　　他們指出，曼聯從雪弗蘭獲得了豐厚的球衣贊助，阿迪達斯也和它簽署了破紀錄的裝備贊助合同。

　　They added that "the huge windfalls that [Man Utd] can expect, will see both revenues and brand value continue to increase in the coming years".

　　Bayern slipped to second in the football brand table, with Real Madrid third, and Paris Saint-Germain in ninth. There were no Italian clubs in the top ten.
