Man Utd Best Supported Club In Europe

Manchester United are officially the best supported club in Europe according to Futebol Finance.

Futebol Finance based their analysis on attendances last season, and with an average Old Trafford attendance of 75,304 last season, United surpassed Real Madrid, the 2009-2009 winners.

What is surprising is the lack of Premier League sides on the list. Just United and Arsenal (Newcastle were in the Championship).
