The ‘big six’ EPL teams dominate the popularity rankings, but one team still stands out from them all.
The English Premier League is the world’s richest football competition. Its wealth has attracted many top players to the league, which has helped the teams competing in it become incredibly popular worldwide. This popularity, however, is not evenly spread throughout the league and there is a huge gulf between the most and least popular teams. Manchester United have over 83 million followers on Facebook and are by far the most popular team. They are also the most successful having won 20 English top flight titles; the majority of which were achieved during the 90’s and 2000’s.
