#3 Aaron Wan-Bissaka - £90,000 per week
Manchester United's first-choice right-back, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, is criminally underpaid by the club. Earning a nominal wage of £90,000 per week, he is Ole Gunnar Solskjær's trusted defender on the right flank, keeping the aforementioned Dalot on the bench.
While the 23-year-old full-back lacks flair in the crossing department, he is more than capable of standing his own ground against any impending threat. In fact, Wan-Bissaka is one of the best defenders in the Premier League when it comes to one-on-one defending. Despite his abilities, he ranks a lowly 19th in the Manchester United squad in terms of weekly wages.
Purchased in 2019 for a sizeable fee of €55m, Wan-Bissaka has cemented his position as a starter in no time. Still uncapped at the international level due to an exceeding number of quality right-backs at Gareth Southgate's disposal, Wan-Bissaka has already racked up 103 appearances for the Red Devils.
With three years remaining on his current contract, Manchester United have the option of having him on nominal wages for at least two seasons.
#2 Mason Greenwood - £75,000 per week
Definitely the brightest prospect in the United squad at the moment, Mason Greenwood has had a lightning start to the Premier League season. The promising Englishman has scored three goals in four games, taking his Manchester United goal tally to 32. At 19, Greenwood is already exuding the class of a seasoned striker.
However, due to his tender age and lack of experience, the England international is only paid a nominal salary of £75,000 per week. Such wages are considerably low for a man of Greenwood's talent, with the likes of Martin Braithwaite and Munir El Haddadi earning much more than him.
A product of the esteemed Manchester United academy, Greenwood has been a revelation ever since he signed a professional contract with the first team. Nevertheless, the versatile forward is yet to receive a monetary bonus for his performances. With his contract not up until 2025, a salary hike in the near future looks very unlikely.
#1 Scott McTominay - £20,000 per week
A surprise but understandable entry in the first place, Scott McTominay's rise to prominence has been undervalued ever since he made his debut for Manchester United in 2017. As a result, the Scottish midfielder only earns a paltry £20,000 weekly salary at Old Trafford.
Used as a double pivot alongside Fred at times, McTominay is arguably the more adept defensive player of the two. Capable of transitioning into a box-to-box midfielder, the 24-year-old Scotland international has scored some worldies in his 135 appearances for Manchester United.
Valued at a career-high €35m at the moment, McTominay has the potential to become a regular with the Red Devils if he can maintain his form and fitness record.
With his current contract running up to 2025, an immediate salary hike looks unlikely. Although he is currently out due to an injury, McTominay is expected to start almost every game for Manchester United when he is back to full fitness.
