It means they slot in just under Bayern Munich, who sold 3,312,000, and list-toppers Barcelona, who sold 3,637,000 shirts over the course of the season, according to sports marketing agency Euroamericas.
United come in under Chelsea, with their poor season reflected by falling down the list, despite a 34 per cent increase in shirt sales.
The Red Devils shipped £2,977,000 shirts, sitting just above Real Madrid, with the Spanish giants selling 2,866,000.

Paris Saint-Germain's progression into the world's elite is further exemplified by sitting sixth in the list (2,212,000) above the Premier League's only other representative, Arsenal, who sold £2,055,000.
Atletico Madrid's continued success, which has seen them reach a second Champions League final in three years, means they take a place in the top 10 for the first time, selling 1,977,000.
Italian pair Juventus (1,678,000) and AC Milan (1,287,000) complete the list.
Despite their failure to reach the Champions League final for the third consecutive year, Bayern saw the biggest increase in shirt sales (40 per cent) marginally beating Chelsea (39 per cent).
