Manchester United is one of the most admired football clubs in the world. They have fans all across the globe and is one of the most famous sporting entities on the planet. Manchester United's legacy comes from having been one of the most successful football clubs in the world.
It has also got a lot to do with the fact that Manchester United have been home to some of the best footballers of all time. They've been able to attract top talents from around the world all throughout history. If you're up to date with what's going on in the world of football, you'd know that it has not changed a lot.
Manchester United have one of the most expensive squads in the world
The Red Devils have had a spectacular summer transfer window. Manchester United have signed Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho. Maintaining such a high-profile comes with its costs. Without further ado, let's take a look at the wages of Manchester United's first team players.
#20 Eric Bailly - £80,000 per week
Eric Bailly had a promising debut season with Manchester United. But his stint with the Red Devils has been marred by injuries. The Ivory Coast international earns £80,000 per week at Manchester United. He recently signed a contract extension and is now tied to the club until 2024.
#19 Aaron Wan-Bissaka - £90,000 per week
Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of Manchester United's most inspired acquisitions under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. They had been without an out-and-out right back for a long time and in Wan-Bissaka, they've found one of the best defensive full-backs in the game.
He has also put in a lot of work to improve his productivity on the attacking side of things and has shown signs of improvement. Wan-Bissaka joined Manchester United in 2019 and is contracted to the club until 2024. The Red Devils have the option of extending it by a year.
#18 Alex Telles - £93,000 per week
Manchester United had to find a back-up option at left-back and went ahead and signed Alex Telles from Porto in October 2020. He has impressed in parts but his most important contribution has been providing competition to Luke Shaw, which seems to have worked wonders for the latter.
Telles earns £93,000 per week at Manchester United and is tied to the club until June 2024.
#17 Dean Henderson - £100,000 per week
Dean Henderson had displaced David de Gea as the club's number one in the latter stages of the 2020-21 Premier League season. The brave, athletic Englishman could prove to be a huge asset in the future for the Red Devils.
He has missed the start of the 2021-22 season with a hip injury but will be raring to win his place back once he returns. Deano earns £100,000 per week and has a contract that runs till 2025.
#16 Donny van de Beek - £120,000 per week
Donny van de Beek started just four Premier League games in the 2020-21 season. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is yet to figure out a role for him after his arrival last summer. Until then, the Dutchman will need to be content with warming the Manchester United bench for £120,000 per week. It's not the worst gig ever, is it?
#15 Nemanja Matic - £120,000 per week
Veteran defensive midfielder Nemanja Matic has walked into the twilight of his career and is currently playing a bit-part role for Manchester United. He earns £120,000 per week and is contracted to the club until 2023.
#14 Victor Lindelof - £120,000 per week
Swedish international Victor Lindelof has all the skills needed to become a top centre-back. However, he is not consistent enough over the course of a season to belong to the starting XI of a team that has title aspirations. But on his day, Lindelof is a great ball-playing centre-back.
He earns 120,000 per week at Manchester United. His current contract expires in 2024.
#13 Fred - £120,000 per week
Fred is a divisive figure among Manchester United fans. While his work on the ball can be sloppy at times, there is no debating the fact that the Red Devils don't have a player who is as effective at pressing. The Brazilian international hounds opposition players and there is an evident drop in energy every time he is taken off.
Fred earns £120,000 week and has a contract with the club till the summer of 2023.
#12 Luke Shaw - £150,000 per week
The Manchester United left-back had a great outing in the 2020-21 season and is now regarded as one of the best full-backs in Europe. Shaw did a great job for England at Euro 2020 as well and is one of the most creative players on the Manchester United roster.
The 26-year-old earns £150,000 per week and is currently tied to the club until 2023.
#11 Juan Mata - £160,000 per week
One of the most admired footballers on the planet, Juan Mata has been at Manchester United for more than seven years now. The 33-year-old doesn't feature very regularly but can still do a job on his day.
Mata earns £160,000 per week and his current contract expires next summer.
#10 Bruno Fernandes - £180,000 per week
Bruno Fernandes has been a talismanic figure for Manchester United over the last season and a half. Since his arrival, the Red Devils haven't lost a single away game in the Premier League. He has scored plenty of goals and provided assists at a prolific rate as well.
He has already scored 43 goals and provided 25 assists in 83 appearances across all competitions for Manchester United. Fernandes earns £180,000 per week and is tied to the club until 2025.
#9 Harry Maguire - £189,904 per week
Harry Maguire's £75 million price tag has been weaponized by attackers to hurl criticism at him. But the Manchester United captain has responded with some solid performances at the back. He also won over the England fans with a string of impressive performances for the Three Lions at Euro 2020.
Maguire earns £189,904 per week and is tied to the club until 2025.
#8 Marcus Rashford - £200,000 per week
Marcus Rashford is blossoming into an outstanding winger with great playmaking capabilities. His work off the pitch has earned him a lot of adulation as well. Rashford is one of Manchester United's chief weapons in attack and he earns £200,000 per week. He last extended his contract in 2019 by four years.
#7 Anthony Martial - £250,000 per week
Anthony Martial is yet another divisive figure. He can have a spectacular season and then follow it up with the ordinary. Martial was Manchester United's main centre-forward in the 2019-20 season, scoring 23 goals and providing 12 assists across all competitions.
He had an underwhelming outing in the 2020-21 season and his campaign was replete with inconsistent performances. However, he still earns £250,000 per week and is currently contracted to the club until 2024.
#6 Edinson Cavani - £250,000 per week
Edinson Cavani has shown in one season what Manchester United have been missing out on in front of goal for years with his mature centre-forward play. One of the most elite strikers of his generation, the Uruguayan international was phenomenal in the limited number of appearances he got in the 2020-21 season.
He scored 17 goals and provided six assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. Cavani signed a one-year contract extension this summer and earns £250,000 per week.
#5 Paul Pogba - £290,000 per week
Paul Pogba has been playing some really good football under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The Frenchman seems to thrive as an attacker and has five assists to his name in just three appearances so far this season. Pogba is constantly linked with an exit but he has put his head down and stayed committed to Manchester United.
Pogba currently earns £290,000 in weekly wages and his current contract expires next summer.
#4 Raphael Varane - £340,000 per week
Raphael Varane is a world-class centre-back who has won it all in football. That's why he is one of the best signings Manchester United have made in recent times. The Frenchman is a pacy and aggressive centre-back with great ball-playing ability as well.
Varane signed a four-year contract with Manchester United this summer and is tied to the club until 2025.
#3 Jadon Sancho - £350,000 per week
Since leaving Manchester City as a teenager, Jadon Sancho has grown in reputation and had become one of the best attackers in the Bundesliga. Manchester United found the right player to solve their problems on the wing in the 21-year-old.
Sancho has signed a five-year contract with Manchester United and he earns £350,000 per week.
#2 David de Gea - £375,000 per week
David de Gea has now had two dull seasons on the trot. But he has started the 2021-22 season on a promising note, making some exceptional and important saves for Manchester United in the early weeks.
The Spaniard signed a four-year contract in 2019 and he earns £375,000 per week. He was Manchester United's highest-earner until they signed a certain club legend just last week.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - £510,000 per week
A large section of the Manchester United fanbase is still in disbelief. Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the red half of Manchester. The 36-year-old was the top scorer in Serie A last term and as such, there is no doubt that he is still a prolific goalscorer.
As per various reports, Cristiano Ronaldo is set to sign a two-year deal with Manchester United, which will see him earn £510,000 per week.
