Manchester United have broken through the 10 million barrier for Facebook friends.

The Reds are the most followed English football team on the social networking website, with over 500,000 fans per month choosing to engage with the club on Facebook.

"This underlines our global fanbase," said a club spokesman. "Any look at the extent of our support reveals we have fans everywhere from Stretford to Singapore to Santiago, showing the strength of United's appeal."
