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

Manchester United v West Ham United - Premier League

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.
