Man Utd wages: Every player’s salary – how much Paul Pogba, David De Gea and more earn

Manchester United have struggled this season despite having one of the highest wage budgets in the entire Premier League.

Much was made of the money Alexis Sanchez was being paid following his switch from Arsenal.

But with the Chile star now on loan at Inter Milan another player tops the table when it comes to weekly wage.

United’s three summer recruits Harry Maguire, Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James are also ranked.

After Sanchez’s exit, Solskjaer explained why it had to happen after an unsuccessful spell at Old Trafford.

“Alexis needed to go,” said Solskjaer. “At the moment, we know he’s been here for 18 months and it’s not really worked out for him.

“For him to restart and get himself playing regularly and scoring goals that will only benefit everyone in the end. For us, we’re going to watch every weekend to see Romelu [Lukaku] and Alexis playing together.

“He will come good for them. For us we had a decision to make, I’m trusting Anthony [Martial], Marcus [Rashford], Mason [Greenwood] to be our centre forwards. We’ve got wingers in Chongy [Tahith Chong], Dan James, [Andreas Pereira], we’ve loads of options.

“For me, it’s time for our boys to feel that pressure and responsibility, to be more robust, to know they have to play five games in a row.”

Several United players have signed new contracts and it is unclear exactly what their salaries are.

That’s why the likes of Mason Greenwood, Axel Tuanzebe and Tahith Chong are missing from the list below.
