Soccer is not popular in North America, instead it is substituted for baseball, football, and hockey. However it is popular everywhere else in the world which means high profit. These franchises of Manchester United are more valuable than most successful football teams (Washington Redskins) and baseball teams (New York Yankees). Sponsorship deals with Pepsi, Nike, and Gillette allow more soccer players to earn millions in profit on top of their salary to play soccer. This is possilbly due to the fact that there is a global audience.
