Manchester United FC (Premier League) exceeded one billion interactions on Facebook, announced the club at the 8th Web Summit, on 09/11/2016. During the 2016 edition of this event, Richard Arnold, the group managing director of Manchester United, said that the club's games are visible in 80% of countries in the world.

"Whilst we wouldn't want to be disrespectful in that way, what you are seeing from a measurement point of view is that the level of engagement and fervour we get is on par with the world's major religions and those are the only things at the same level as Manchester United in terms of that interaction and engagement," said Richard Arnold on 09/11/2016.

"We are on a different scale to other clubs in our league. We are also the biggest in the world at what we do across any sport and any team," added Richard Arnold.
