Man U were biggest at one time because they were the most aggressive in marketing in new and developing markets, but that was probably 15 years ago and there's been a lot of t of catching up since.
Still one of the biggest brands, deffo bigger than spurs, but harder to say against the Spanish giants, except in the Latin world where its a no contest and man u isn't.

Kantor, which performed a similar study five years ago, extrapolated its results from 54,000 respondents in 39 countries.

So fundamently it is guess work.

Neither Madrid or Barca are as big as United, not even close.

They're only marginally more successful in financial terms and United are not even in the same league when it comes to matters on the pitch.

Spurs have no money to spend

Levy has already told Poch he'll be able given funds to sign players this January. I'd say he'll be getting a few extra million now given the United overtures.

United have unlimited funds

How's that been working out for them? Nobody has 'unlimited funds' anyway and saying as much is plain silly. That said, United have an average net spend of over £83 million per season over the last 5 seasons, while the equivalent figure for Spurs is less than £9 million. United's finishing positions in those years were 4th, 5th, 6th, 2nd and 5th. Spurs have finished 6th. 5th, 3rd, 2nd and 3rd. This season United are already 11 points off the CL slots with a goal difference of 0. Spurs by contrast, are 3rd, 13 points clear of United with a +15 goal average.

they do have what looks like a lovely stadium though.

... which will ultimately generate significantly higher revenues for the club, thereby increasing their spending power in the transfer market. The ground capacity at White Hart Lane was a mere 36,000 yet over 80,000 watched them play Liverpool in September. The new ground has a capacity of 62,000 and in terms of a stadium experience and the build itself, it will be one of the finest sporting & entertainment venues in the world. Expect a sharp increase in club revenues as a consequence.

they won’t ever win the league or the champions league

As previously mentioned, they've finished 3rd, 2nd and 3rd in the last 3 seasons. Given more money to spend, why could they not improve sufficiently win the division? Your position makes no sense given 5,000 to 1 outsiders Leicester accomplished the feat you are saying is impossible for Spurs and a total of 6 different clubs have topped the Premiership since its inception. At the start of the season everyone had already awarded City the league and yet Liverpool top the pile currently and with Mo Salah the division's current top scorer - who'd have thought it? ?

United could be back in the hunt to do both those things really quickly. 

United are already 19 points behind Liverpool so they've zero chance this season. They'll also struggle to be playing in the Champions League next season unless there's some sort of miraculous and immediate turnaround, so what is it exactly that you think is going to change 'really quickly'? OGS' sole Premiership management experience entailed getting Cardiff relegated so whilst we may see some improvement, them storming the League seems a rather fanciful notion and winning the Champions League even more so.
