Manchester United placed second in the list of World's wealthiest club while Real Madrid top again for fourth year in a row.
Deloitte's Football Money League, based on financial information for the 2007/08 season, features seven English clubs in the top 20 positions.
The authors said that United would have been top of the Money League if the pound was still at June 2007 levels.
Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are fifth, sixth and seventh respectively.
"If the exchange rate value of the pound had not depreciated, there would have been nine, rather than seven English clubs in the top 20 and Manchester United would have topped the Money League ahead of Real Madrid," said Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte.
