Manchester United named OUTSIDE the world's top 20 clubs... with Erik ten Hag's side rated below PSV, Real Sociedad and Benfica in Opta's Power Rankings

Manchester United have been ranked outside of the top 20 football clubs in the world by Opta.

The stats giant compile a Power Ranking of more than 13,000 football clubs around the world, with places determined by an Elo system akin to the one used by FIFA to rank international sides.

Manchester City unsurprisingly sit top of the list after Pep Guardiola's side secured a treble last season and remain in contention to repeat the feat this year.

Joining the Citizens in the podium spots are Real Madrid and Inter Milan in second and third respectively, with Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal rounding out the top five.
