Brighton have been named ahead of Manchester United in FiveThirtyEight's global power rankings.
The list demonstrates how far the Red Devils have fallen since their fruitful years under Sir Alex Ferguson, having fallen outside the top 20 behind fellow Premier League clubs Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Spurs and now Brighton.
Pep Guardiola's side lead the rankings ahead of Bayern Munich in second and Liverpool in third, with PSG and Real Madrid completing the remainder of the top five.
Although the Seagulls have enjoyed an excellent start to the new campaign, Manchester United have since overtaken the south coast club in the Premier League, sitting in fifth spot after eight matches.
