Ranking the 5 highest-paid players at Manchester United currently (2022)

#3 Jadon Sancho - £350,000 per week

Jadon Sancho has scored just one Premier League goal this season/

Manchester United won the race for Jadon Sancho, one of the most promising talents across Europe, last summer. However, after spending £73 million for the former Manchester City winger, they will be disappointed by his output so far.

He has just one goal in the Premier League in ten starts. He has not been played at his preferred position at the club, and that might be a reason for his underwhelming output. Though he has earned regular starts under Ralf Rangnick, it seems the Old Trafford faithful will have to wait to see him replicate his Borussia Dortmund form at the club.

Very few players at his age earn more than £300,000 per week. However, thanks to a long-term contract at the club, he will continue to be rewarded handsomely, irrespective of his performances.

#2 David de Gea - £375,000 per week

David de Gea has impressed between the sticks this season.

David de Gea's form has been impressive this season, and he has shown glimpses of his old self.

It is good news for the player himself, and also for Manchester United fans. His consistent performances have saved the day for the club on more than one occasion this season.

He has not missed a game in the Premier League this season, so it is clear that he has been a key first-team player for United this term. He has signed a new deal with the club in 2019, making him the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world, a deal that runs out in 2023.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo - £510,000 per week

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored more goals than any other Manchester United player this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo's return to Manchester United last summer was filled with drama. That's because just days before signing up for the club, he was heavily linked with a move to their arch-rivals Manchester City.

While his return was a huge event, he certainly has not come cheap. His £510,000-a-week salary makes him one of the highest-paid players in the world. He got off to a great start in his second spell at the club, and is their top-scoring player this campaign, having scored eight times in the league.

The Portuguese was brought back to the club to return Manchester United to the title race. However, he hasn't received enough support from his teammates so far, and can only do so much on his own. It remains to be seen how things pan out as the season wears on.
