Man United Facebook Page passes 2.5m (and claims EPL top spot)

One of the newest and fastest growing Facebook Pages is the official Manchester United page.  In the the two months it has been up it has grown to 2,589,988 (23 Sept) which is a staggering surge.

This gowth has seen it recently pass Liverpool as the largest EPL club page on Facebook.  Liverpool are not far behind with 2,472,588 (23 Sept) but bear in mind that they have been running theirs since March 2009!

We will see if the global appeal of United will see it catch the frontrunners of Real Madrid, Barcelona and Galatasary but there is still some way to go.

It is good to see that it not just being used to push out news feeds from the website but also includes some behind the scenes, product info and fan photos.  Hopefully as time goes by more engagement will be integrated and some of the negatives of recent times can be tuerned around by the club.
