June 15 – Although Manchester United are playing catch-up with Arsenal and Chelsea in the Twitter league rankings, when it comes to Facebook it is a different story with the club completely smashing their Premier League rivals, according to the Insideworldfootball Facebook ranking stats.
Man Utd top both Total Page Likes and People Talking About tables. Chelsea are second in both tables and Arsenal third. At over 65 million likes, Man Utd are almost double that of Arsenal who have 32.8 million.
In terms of total page likes Liverpool are 4th, Manchester City 5th and Spurs 6th. People Talking About is similar to Page Likes. The top three clubs are the same but in people talking about Man City are fourth, Liverpool fifth and Spurs sixth.
The disparity between the top of the rankings table and the bottom of the table is huge in the Premier League and significantly greater on Facebook than it is when comparing Twitter rankings.
Man Utd have 65 times more Facebook Like than Southampton in 11th place. The nine teams below the Saints all have less than 1 million Likes, with Burnley bottom with less than 200,000.
