Manchester United Lead Premier League Clubs for Social Engagement, Arsenal 2nd

Manchester United led the Premier League for social engagement in the last seven days, according to rankings data released by ListenFirst in association with Bleacher Report.

United, who have won their last six games in a row, scored more than twice the engagement points of the next best Premier League club, Arsenal. Chelsea and Liverpool also featured in the top 10 clubs worldwide.

The digital engagement rankings represent a raw aggregate of daily engagements based on owned, earned and organic consumer behavior on Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, Wikipedia and YouTube.

Not even United could touch Real Madrid or Barcelona, however, with Spain's top two a long way clear of the chasing pack.
