The Whites have been exiled from England's top division for 14 years and the latest statistics revealed in a special report in Sunday's Daily Mail show just how much they're missing out.

Town earned £104m for finishing in 16th this campaign, while United's money over their twelve year stay in the Premier League totalled £125.5m.

In four years Burnley have totted up a whopping £269.1m in prize money with this seasons winners Manchester City earning £153.2m this year alone.

Leeds' Championship rivals Middlesbrough, Sunderland and Hull City all pocketed £42.4m in parachute payments this season, while Fulham also earned £17.2m along with Cardiff City and Aston Villa who bagged £32.6m respectively.

The relegated sides who will be rivalling the Whites in the second tier next campaign all received healthy sums despite failing to secure their Premier League safety.

West Brom earned £98.5m, while Stoke (£98.9m) and Swansea City (£100.5m) will also be entering the summer with some spare change in an attempt to head back to the promised land at the first attempt.
